[R-pkg-team] Bug#1121145: r-cran-downlit: Please upgrade to 0.4.5 for upstream fix in digest use

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Package: r-cran-downlit
Version: 0.4.4-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: edd at debian.org, edd at debian.org

When updating my (upstream) 'digest' package (aka 'r-cran-digest'), an
error in its reverse-dependency 'downlit' (aka 'r-cran-downlit') became
apparent. It made some assumptions about the 'URL' field in the 'DESCRIPTION'
file which leads a test failing under the updated 'digest'.

This has been fixed upstream (I had also sent a pull request), but Debian is
still at the affected version 0.4.4 so it is now blocking 'r-cran-digest' as
the autopkgtest fails, as expected.

If you upgrade to 0.4.5 all will be well.  Please do so at your convenience.
