| Hi Maintainer

| r-cran-popepi's autopkgtest fails when tested with survival 3.8-6-1
| [1].  I've copied what I hope is the relevant part of the log below.

And given that survival just updated at CRAN where they test against all
reverse dependencies we are "almost certain" it will work with a current
version. Or, in the case of failure, that the issue will be known at CRAN too
and hence be an upstream issue for popEpi.

And that is the case here:

  https://cran.r-project.org/package=popEpi

highlight the failed report in

  https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_popEpi.html

and sets a Jan 31 deadline.
