[R-pkg-team] RM: rJava [i386] -- RoM: FTBFS as i386 builds no longer maintained upstream

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

The rJava package (source package 'rjava', binary package r-cran-rjava) no
longer builds on i386 as most of the world, including R and its CRAN network,
have moved on from i386.

So I am requesting the removal of the i386 builds from testing so that the
package can migrate; it works and tests fine everywhere else.

Four packages are listed as reverse depends (see below).  I will have to
presumably 'climb the tree' and request removal of each of these and will
likely dues so in due course.  For now, I am CCing the packages in question,
as well as the initial bug report #1059875.
