[R-pkg-team] Bug#1114892: r-cran-plumber: autopkgtest needs update for new version of node-jquery

Thu Sep 11 11:33:18 BST 2025

Source: r-cran-plumber
Version: 1.3.0+ds-1
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of node-jquery the autopkgtest of r-cran-plumber 
fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages 
of node-jquery from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from 
testing. In tabular form:

                        pass            fail
node-jquery            from testing    3.7.1+dfsg+~3.5.33-1
r-cran-plumber         from testing    1.3.0+ds-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of node-jquery to 
testing [1]. Of course, node-jquery shouldn't just break your 
autopkgtest (or even worse, your package), but it seems to me that the 
change in node-jquery was intended and your package needs to update to 
the new situation.

If this is a real problem in your package (and not only in your 
autopkgtest), the right binary package(s) from node-jquery should really 
add a versioned Breaks on the unfixed version of (one of your) 
package(s). Note: the Breaks is nice even if the issue is only in the 
autopkgtest as it helps the migration software to figure out the right 
versions to combine in the tests.
