[R-pkg-team] Bug#1006380: r-cran-tidyr breaks r-cran-emayili autopkgtest: Input must be a vector, not a <header> object.

Dear maintainer(s),

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

                        pass            fail
r-cran-tidyr           from testing    1.2.0-1
r-cran-emayili         from testing    0.7.0-1
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-tidyr 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?
