As I said I see no point in makeing some effort to skip tests if the
issue will become void once ftpmaster has accepted r-cran-vcr (I've
pinged again to rank this before any random r-cran-* package which to
my experience worked in the past).

I've even realised that the changelog of r-cran-worrms contained a
  Closes: #900083
since a long time and I forgot to remove this before uploading the
package in the transition upload.  I think that should be OK considering
that it can be expected to be really fixed soon (if not the other open
bugs will remember me to check again.  I do not see any reason to do
reopen - close ping-pong since there is no need to change anything in
the package - I've checked locally that the test suite passes now.

R-cran-data.table tests are fine again, right?

Kind regards
