[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#900888: r-cran-sendmailr: autopkgtest regression

[Paul Gevers]

Source: r-cran-sendmailr
Version: 1.2-1-3
Severity: important
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: regression
Control: affects -1 src:r-base

Dear maintainers,

With the upload of version 1.2-1-3 your autopkgtest¹ started to fail.
Because r-cran-sendmailr is part of the r-base-3.5 transition, it is
part of the delay the migration of r-base to testing (hence the
severity). (It seems you are missing a (test) dependency on
r-cran-base64enc?)

Could you please investigate and fix your autopkgtest?

It has been suggested that this may be due to the latest version of
dh-r, please reassign if appropriate.

Paul
