[R-pkg-team] Bug#1061828: r-cran-plotly: Can't create any plots

[Przemyslaw Kopa]

Package: r-cran-plotly
Version: 4.10.1+dfsg-2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: prz.kopa at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

   Tried a simple scatterplot example:

   library(plotly)
   plot_ly(data = iris, x = ~Sepal.Length, y = ~Petal.Length)

   * What was the outcome of this action?

   Web browser opened with an empty page instead of a plot and there 
   were many JS errors in browser's console. Plotly.js version that comes 
   bundled with r-cran-plotly is very old, which is probably the cause of 
   those errors. Tried also 4.10.4 from testing - same result.
