Hi,
I believe the function utils::citation() will fail if the package specified has
two or more citation entries in the current R-devel. The following error is
issued:
'missing' can only be used for arguments
I have created a working example on github [0] that is build using R-devel on
travis-ci [1]. Jim Hester has potentially identified [2] the source of the
problem as being from a commit on the 27th [3, 4]. I do not have R-devel built
on my machine, but I believe this error can be reproduced on the current R-devel
with:
if (require("boot") & require("utils"))
utils::citation("boot")
Background:
My package poppr suddenly started failing check on R-devel during a weekly
travis-ci job [5] due to the error above. Another package of mine, ezec, passed
[6]. Both contain calls to utils::citation() within the vignettes, but poppr
has two citations and ezec only has one (called from another package).
Thanks,
Zhian

In the end, it took two dozens of hours.
