Hi,

it would be great if someone could have a look into this package.
The bz2 and lbosc libs are not linked properly and the test suite
fails.

This package is needed for the BioConductor transition

    https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/r-api-bioc-3.12.html

Kind regards

       Andreas
