[R-pkg-team] Bug#1043223: r-cran-biocmanager: autopkgtest needs update for r-bioc-biocversion

[Graham Inggs]

Control: tags -1 + patch

The failing test "install() without package names" was previously
skipped, but enabled again [1] in a recent upload.

The reason the autopkgtests pass in testing [2] is that testing
Bioconductor version 3.16 with R version 4.3 is considered a
misconfiguration, and several tests are skipped.  See test output
below.

The following patch will skip the failing test unconditionally:

--- a/tests/testthat/test_install.R
+++ b/tests/testthat/test_install.R

 test_that("install() without package names passes ... to install.packages", {
-    .skip_if_misconfigured()
+    skip()
     object <- FALSE
     with_mock(
         available.packages = function(...) {
