 ## Known failures and workarounds
 
-  - The ps package needs the `linux-headers` Alpine package at compile
-    time. Many tidyverse packages depend on ps, so they’ll need it as
-    well:
-    
-        installr -d -t linux-headers ps
-
-  - The arrow package needs a `Makevars` file to add a link flag. See
-    the example `Dockerfile` in the [examples/arrow](examples/arrow)
-    directory.
-
-  - The V8 packagees do not compile on aarch64 machines by default. On
-    x86\_64 it installs fine:
-    
-        installr -d -t curl-dev V8
-    
-    This means that other packages that need V8 (e.g. rstan and prophet)
-    do not work on aarch64, either.
-
-  - To install the magick package, you need both the `imagemagick` and
-    `imagemagick-dev` Alpine packages, both at install time and run
-    time:
-    
-        installr -d -a "imagemagick imagemagick-dev" -t "curl-dev" magick
