Hi Rebecca,

thank you very much for your help,

I fully agree with your assessment.

I want to solve that once for all by removing all 32-bit and big-endian
architectures from the r-cran-* packages in Trixie.  I do not know a way that
could be done without a mass update of all the packages, but I still hope to do
so in a week or two.  Unfortunately I did not manage to do it earlier and now I
am on a 8-day business trip to Seoul.  Also, I worry that any upload risks to
delay the transition of r-base to Trixie.

Please let me know if there is a better way.

Cheers,

Charles
