[R-pkg-team] Bug#1005250: r-cran-rlang breaks r-cran-tidyselect autopkgtest: catch_cnd(vars_select(letters, starts_with("1"))) inherits from `'lifecycle_soft_deprecated'/'condition'` not `'character'`.

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of r-cran-rlang the autopkgtest of 
r-cran-tidyselect fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the 
binary packages of r-cran-rlang from unstable. It passes when run with 
only packages from testing. In tabular form:

                        pass            fail
r-cran-rlang           from testing    1.0.0-1
r-cran-tidyselect      from testing    1.1.1+dfsg-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of r-cran-rlang to 
testing [1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report 
against both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and 
reassign the bug to the right package?
