Isoband and its strong reverse dependencies will be archive if you do not "negociate the necessary actions"

A recent message from the CRAN team involving the archival of the package ìsoband mention that all those package relying on this one will also be archived:

archiving this will necessitate also archiving its CRAN strong reverse dependencies

However, I checked in my DESCRIPTION file and isoband is not part of my own package's dependencies. So I am assuming that my package relies on a package which itself relies on isoband.

How can I identify which of the package in my DESCRIPTION file itself depends on isoband?

I have seen functions and packages such as revdepcheck but none works at this time.

Solution

  • The function pak::pkg_deps_explain() allows you to find the connection between your package and isoband:

    pak::pkg_deps_explain("superb", "isoband")
#> superb -> ggplot2 -> isoband
