[R-pkg-team] Bug#1076615: r-cran-metamix: autopkgtest regression with rmpi 0.7-2-2 (armel, armhf, i386)

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Source: r-cran-metamix
Version: 0.3-2
Severity: serious

Dear Maintainers,

Your package r-cran-metamix is showing an autopkg regression with the updated
rmpi (aka r-cran-rmpi) package I maintain, and is blocking it. Upstream at
CRAN 32 bit operating systems are no longer checked (and one go further and
say "supported") so it may be easiest to skip here too.

rmpi itself recently switch to mpich-dev but the change is not affecting any
build architectures [2]  

Please let me know if I can help with any clarifications. Thank you in
advance for unblocking this part of a future Debian release.

Cheers, Dirk
