[R-pkg-team] Bug#1082295: r-bioc-dropletutils: autopkgtest failure on riscv64

Hi Maintainer

The autopkgtests of r-bioc-dropletutils are failing on riscv64 [1].
I've copied what I hope is the relevant part of the log below.

The following patch worked for me:

--- a/tests/testthat/test-hashing.R
+++ b/tests/testthat/test-hashing.R
@@ -241,7 +241,7 @@
         out <- hashedDrops(mat[keep,,drop=FALSE],
combinations=rbind(4:2), ambient=ambient[keep])
         SCALING <- median(mat[keep]/ambient[keep])
         PSEUDO <- mean(ambient[keep]) * SCALING
-        expect_identical(out$LogFC, .compute_expected_lfc(SCALING, PSEUDO))
+        expect_equal(out$LogFC, .compute_expected_lfc(SCALING, PSEUDO))
     }
 })

I am not sure whether it is preferable to maintain such a patch, or
update the list of architectures in
debian/tests/autopkgtest-pkg-r.hook.

Regards
Graham
