[R-pkg-team] Bug#983748: dh-r: pkg-r-autopkgtest breaks autopkgtests

[Graham Inggs]

Control: reopen -1

Hi Andreas

This didn't work [1].  You need root in order to run 'apt-get install':

E: No packages found
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13:
Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock
(/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?
autopkgtest [14:31:55]: test pkg-r-autopkgtest: -----------------------]
autopkgtest [14:31:55]: test pkg-r-autopkgtest:  - - - - - - - - - -
results - - - - - - - - - -
pkg-r-autopkgtest    FAIL non-zero exit status 100

Please revert the entire commit [2] and upload so we can fast track
dh-r back into testing to fix pkg-r-autopkgtests there.  Maybe speak
to debci team about whatever problem it is you are trying to solve,
and whether it is needed at this stage of the freeze.

Regards
Graham
