Hello, All:
The sos package is failing some CRAN checks, complaining:[1]
LaTeX errors:
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
$
l.303 {\tt pspline_
checker} in the
! Emergency stop.
<inserted text>
$
l.303 {\tt pspline_
checker} in the
! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
--- failed re-building 'sos.Rnw'
I can NOT replicate these locally nor with GitHub action, and I
failed to find 'psp' in 'sos.Rnw'.[2] This raises two issue:
OBVIOUS: What can I do to fix this error, or at least to understand it
better?
SUBTLE: How can I configure "github action", so it can replicate the
errors reported on CRAN?
Thanks,
Spencer

Hello, All:
You have just spammed my personal email address, contrary to the CRAN

Is MASS being withdrawn along with multiple other packages (mgcv,
survival, boot, lattice)?
Not so. And that was a failure to do your own homework as you should
have looked on CRAN to see that they are still available.
Further
options(repos=c(CRAN="http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu";))
does not respect the user's choice of repository: that seems to make
re-making it unreasonably slow. On my very fast MacBook Pro
* checking re-building of vignette outputs ...^R
[26s/265s] OK
so it is waiting 90% of the time.
That's responsible for 3 of the 4 'warnings' listed there. The
warning for r-devel-linux-x86_64-fedora-gcc says "LaTeX errors:
! Missing $ inserted ... Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file
produced! ... Vignette re-building failed."
These all sound to me like operating system errors. If there's
something here I should do, I could use help in understanding what.
Do read the message -- it is a LaTeX error in the LaTeX code your
package's vignettes generates.
LaTeX errors:
! Missing $ inserted.

Underlines need to be escaped in LaTeX. And as your results depend on
Internet downloads,
"Packages which use Internet resources should fail gracefully with an
informative message if the resource is not available or has changed (and
not give a check warning nor error)."
applies: you need to anticipate that the results might include underlines.
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
