[R-pkg-team] Bug#1070009: r-cran-data.table: Update to current upstream

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Dirk,

thanks for the bug report.  I even tried to upgrade to 1.15.0 in Februar
but stumbled about a test suite error[1] of the Debian package which
prevented me from uploading.

The autopkgtest of current version 1.15.4 has[2]:

In addition: Warning message:
In readLines(testDir("issue_563_fread.txt")) :

I've checked the two files 

   /usr/lib/R/site-library/data.table/tests/tests.Rraw.bz2
   /usr/lib/R/site-library/data.table/tests/issue_563_fread.txt

which do not look suspicious in any way.

Any hint how to fix this test would be welcome.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
