Summary

  • Cross-distro bundled database: the bundled fallback now stores one row per (r_package, package_manager, system_package) with names for apt, dnf (reused by yum platforms), zypper, and apk (257 rows, 40 curated packages). The apt/dnf/zypper names are generated from the Posit Package Manager database for Ubuntu 22.04, Red Hat 9, and openSUSE 15.6; Alpine names are hand curated. backend = "bundled" and auto routing now work on Fedora, RHEL rebuilds, openSUSE, and Alpine.
  • Log diagnosis patterns 12 -> 33: adds zlib, bzip2, xz, png, jpeg, tiff, freetype, fontconfig, cairo, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, libsodium, GMP, MPFR, GLPK, GEOS, ImageMagick, poppler, leptonica, tesseract, ICU, webp, and Cyrus SASL, each with per-manager names.
  • Package Manager lookups on real hosts: Posit Package Manager keys on rockylinux 9, redhat 9, opensuse 15.6, and ubuntu 24.04, but /etc/os-release on those machines reports rocky 9.4, opensuse-leap 15.6, or linuxmint 22. ppm_sysreqs(), check_ppm(), and ppm_repo() failed with "Unsupported system" or "No Package Manager binary URL" there. A single ppm_target() helper now maps the detected distro and version to the Package Manager pair; the detected values are unchanged. Ubuntu derivatives report the underlying Ubuntu release taken from UBUNTU_CODENAME.
  • Bug fix: resolve_platform() splits <distro>-<version> at the last dash, so "opensuse-leap-15.6" resolves correctly and "opensuse-15.6", "centos-7", "rockylinux-9.4" find their binary URL segment. "rhel9"/"rhel10" now describe Red Hat Enterprise Linux, not Rocky Linux.
  • Bug fix: Posit Package Manager query failures no longer stop with the misleading apt-only bundled error on non-apt platforms; platforms outside the bundled data get an empty plan with the original error in the fallback_error attribute.
  • Bug fix: installed-state detection now covers Alpine via apk info, and on apt hosts ignores packages that were removed but not purged (dpkg state config-files).
  • Bug fix: failed package extraction in diagnose_log() and check_error() reads compilation failed for package and lazy loading failed for package lines, not only configuration failed.
  • Bug fix: detect_project_packages(), check_project(), and check_library() drop packages that ship with R (stats, utils, methods, ...) instead of reporting them as unresolved.
  • Bug fix: write_json() writes null for missing strings; previously NA in columns such as sysreq was written as the string "NA".
  • Startup message suggests setup_advice() for the detected platform.
  • Packages with no name on a given platform (V8 on zypper/apk, units on zypper) are reported as unresolved instead of getting invented names.
  • The detect_platform() example ships its fixture (inst/extdata/os-release-fedora-40) so it runs instead of silently skipping.

Testing

  • testthat: 413 pass, 0 fail (2 skips on macOS: apk and dpkg-query absent; the dpkg-query test runs on the Ubuntu CI runners).
  • lintr: 0 lints.
  • R CMD check --as-cran: 0 errors, 0 warnings.
  • Live check against packagemanager.posit.co confirmed that rockylinux 9.4, redhat 9.4, ubuntu 22, and opensuse-leap 15.6 are rejected while the mapped pairs are accepted.
  • Zero runtime dependencies preserved (no Imports).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Expanded bundled system-requirements support for Debian/Ubuntu, Red Hat/Fedora, openSUSE, Alpine, and multiple package managers.
    • Improved automatic backend selection and fallback behavior when remote package data is unavailable.
    • Added broader detection of missing libraries and platform-specific installation guidance.
    • Improved support for Ubuntu derivatives, Rocky Linux, RHEL, openSUSE, and Alpine.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Missing character values now serialize as JSON null.
    • System package checks exclude packages already provided by R.
    • Debian package detection now ignores packages retained only as configuration files.
  • Documentation
    • Updated supported-platform, Alpine, bundled-database, and backend guidance.

…llback fix

The bundled fallback database now stores one row per (r_package,
package_manager, system_package) with names for apt, dnf (reused by yum),
zypper, and apk. The apt, dnf, and zypper names are generated from the
Posit Package Manager database for Ubuntu 22.04, Red Hat 9, and openSUSE
15.6; the Alpine names are hand curated. backend = "bundled" and auto
routing now work on Fedora, RHEL rebuilds, openSUSE, and Alpine.

Log diagnosis patterns grew from 12 to 33, adding zlib, bzip2, xz, png,
jpeg, tiff, freetype, fontconfig, cairo, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MariaDB,
libsodium, GMP, MPFR, GLPK, GEOS, ImageMagick, poppler, leptonica,
tesseract, ICU, webp, and Cyrus SASL, each with per-manager names.

Fixes: Posit Package Manager query failures no longer stop with the
misleading apt-only bundled error on non-apt platforms; installed-state
detection now covers Alpine via apk info; the startup message suggests
setup_advice() for the detected platform.

…ivative hosts

Posit Package Manager keys on rockylinux 9, redhat 9, opensuse 15.6, and
ubuntu 24.04, but /etc/os-release on those machines reports rocky 9.4,
opensuse-leap 15.6, or linuxmint 22. ppm_sysreqs(), check_ppm(), and
ppm_repo() therefore failed with "Unsupported system" or "No Package
Manager binary URL" on real hosts. A single ppm_target() helper now maps
the detected distro and version to the Package Manager pair; the detected

Multi-manager bundled database
R/bundled-sysreqs.R, data-raw/update-bundled-sysreqs.R, tests/testthat/test-check.R
Bundled records and generation now cover apt, dnf, zypper, and apk. Yum uses dnf data. Lookups filter by manager and report unresolved packages.
Bundled routing and R-package filtering
R/check.R, R/utils.R, R/project.R, tests/testthat/test-check.R, tests/testthat/test-project.R, man/check_project.Rd
Automatic routing recognizes all supported bundled managers. Base R packages are excluded from library and project system-requirement checks.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 85f05

Some zypper and apk requirements can be incorrectly reported as unresolved instead of using another backend, so routing should be corrected before merge. A narrower diagnostic mismatch also remains.

match(NA_character_, known$codename) matched the first known platform
whose codename is NA and rewrote the detected version. Use
incomparables = NA so an empty UBUNTU_CODENAME leaves the version alone.

Restrict the bundled routing check to the selected package manager.

bundled_has_packages() matches r_package across all managers in the table. The table has no zypper rows for units and V8, and no apk rows for V8. On those platforms select_backend() therefore returns "bundled", and bundled_sysreqs() returns an empty plan with the package listed in unresolved. The ppm and pak backends never run, so a resolvable requirement is reported as missing.

Filter the membership check by the normalized name set.

🐛 Proposed fix
-  if (bundled_platform && all(is_simple_package_name(packages)) && bundled_has_packages(packages)) {
+  if (bundled_platform && all(is_simple_package_name(packages)) &&
+        bundled_has_packages(packages, platform$package_manager)) {

Update the helper in R/bundled-sysreqs.R (lines 867-869):

bundled_has_packages <- function(packages, package_manager = NULL) {
  pkgs <- compact_chr(packages)
  db <- bundled_sysreqs_db
  if (!is.null(package_manager)) {
    db <- db[db$package_manager == bundled_name_set(package_manager), , drop = FALSE]
  }
  all(pkgs %in% db$r_package)
}

Prevent -lssl3 from matching the OpenSSL rule.

cannot find -lssl also matches cannot find -lssl3. libssl3.so is an NSS library, and libnss3-dev provides its development files. The current rule therefore suggests libssl-dev, which does not fix an NSS linker failure. (packages.debian.org)

Terminate the matcher with \\b. Add a separate -lssl3 mapping if NSS diagnosis is supported.
