Bug#901767: r-cran-mcmc: time consuming autopkgtest always fails: Error in library(Iso) : there is no package called 'Iso'

Dear maintainer,

Your package has an autopkgtest. Great. However, I noticed it is on the
list of slow tests (it takes more than an hour on the ci.debian.net
infrastructure, which is in principle fine as long as it has a purpose).
I took a quick look and noticed the following. The test has two
components. The first one is the long one, which actually passes (albeit
with an error/warning copied below). The second one seems to fail on a
missing test dependency (Error in library(Iso) : there is no package
called 'Iso').

Could you please investigate and fix the second test or simply disable
the second test for now, such that the test actually passes? And maybe
figure out if the error in the first test is actually serious?

Thanks for considering.

Paul
