Could you include a test with the example of a dependency that breaks with the current code?

Here it is @jimhester @gaborcsardi :

library(remotes)
install_github("Bioconductor/BiocWorkshops2019")
#> Downloading GitHub repo Bioconductor/BiocWorkshops2019@master
#> Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...): Invalid comparison operator in dependency: <

^{Created on 2019-05-14 by the reprex package (v0.2.1)}

Code

Depends: R (>= 3.6.0), R (< 3.7.0) 

See: https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocWorkshops2019/blob/master/DESCRIPTION

Hi Jim, @jimhester
I didn't immediately understand the tests comment 😅. But now I've added a test to the package with the offending code.
I also updated the regex code in the package that gets to the bottom of the issue.

Thanks,
Marcel

Thanks, it looks good! Can you please add a bullet to NEWS? It should briefly describe the change and end with (@yourname, #issuenumber).

Hi Jim, @jimhester
It's ready.
Best,
Marcel

Great work, this package is now better thanks to you!

Thanks Jim!
