Hi John,

Duncan explained the cause of the problem, but i'm afraid I didn't 
follow how one solves it.  Did you manage to get a check without that note?


I didn't -- I just disregarded the note assuming that it would go away 
when the time server was back up.


(I've cc'd the R-package-devel list so that others can see your question 
and my response.)


Best,
 John



Thanks You,

The first one doesn't accept UTC as a timezone; it appears to want
etc/UTC instead.  The second one is offline.

If both of those fail, you'll get the message you saw.

Dear r-package-devel list members,

I got the following note when checking two different packages today

macOS Catalina systems, and on several platforms on rhub:

unable to verify current time

I'm writing to inquire about the note because no one else has mentioned
this problem recently, in case it's produced by something that I'm

Both packages that I was checking are close to CRAN releases and so I'd
like to know whether I can disregard the note.

Any help would be appreciated.
