[R-pkg-team] Bug#1089197: debrebuild: Recommends/Suggests missing from rebuilt R packages

[Philip Rinn]

Hi,

it seems dh-r is missing a build dependency on apt (which is neither essential nor build-essential, as I learned today ;-)).

Looking at the log https://reproduce.debian.net/api/v0/builds/110379/log the root cause seems

/bin/sh: 1: apt-cache: not found
grep-aptavail: command (apt-cache dumpavail) failed (exit status 127)
W: Ignoring specified R dependency: R (>= 2.10)
W: Cannot find a debian package for Suggests:knitr

which is a result of https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/dh-r/-/blob/master/dh/R.pm?ref_type=heads#L16

Best
Philip
