[R-pkg-team] Bug#1019514: node-jquery breaks r-cran-plumber autopkgtest: compared text different

Dear maintainer(s),

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

                        pass            fail
node-jquery            from testing    3.6.1+dfsg+~3.5.14-1
r-cran-plumber         from testing    1.2.0+ds-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 node-jquery 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?
