[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#892481: r-cran-testthat: autopkgtest failure

Hi Dylan

Since the upload of 2.0.0-1, r-cran-testthat's autopkgtests have been 
failing [1].  I noticed you already added a missing test dependency [2] 
in Salsa.  This reduced the number of failing tests to 4.

By changing the locale from C to C.UTF-8, similar to what I did in 
r-cran-urltools [3], there is only one test failure remaining:

 > test_check("testthat")
── 1. Error: returns local path when called from 
tools::testInstalledPackages (@
cannot change working directory
1: setwd("test-path-installed/testthat-tests/testthat") at 
testthat/test-test-path.R:11

══ testthat results 
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OK: 449 SKIPPED: 2 FAILED: 1
1. Error: returns local path when called from 
tools::testInstalledPackages (@test-test-path.R#11)

It is a new test, not a regression, so skipping it may be a valid option.

Regards
Graham
