Suggested packages should be used conditionally: see §1.1.3.1 of 'Writing R Extensions'. Some of these are hard to install on a platform without X11 such as M1 Macs: see the logs at https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/M1mac/.
You can check all of the suggested packages by setting environment variable _R_CHECK_DEPENDS_ONLY_=true -- see https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-ints.html#Tools .
Please correct ASAP and before 2021-01-12 to safely retain the package on CRAN.
