[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#900083: Fwd: Bug#900081: autopkgtest regressions in r-cran-(ritis|webmockr|worrms) will delay r-base-3.5 transition

[Andreas Tille]

Short version for ftpmaster: Please have a look at r-cran-vcr which
would help in the r-base-3.5 transition.

Needs r-cran-vcr (urgs, I've prepared the package on 26.5. but forgot to
upload :-(  - done now).  I'll ping ftpmaster and ask for fast
processing.
