[R-pkg-team] Bug#916723: r-cran-bold: autopkgtest regression: no package called 'vcr'

Version: 0.8.6+dfsg-1

Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of r-cran-bold the autopkgtest of r-cran-bold fails
in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of
r-cran-bold from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from
testing. In tabular form:
                       pass            fail
r-cran-bold            from testing    0.8.6+dfsg-1
all others             from testing    from testing

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

Currently this regression is contributing to the delay of the migration
to testing [1]. Can you please investigate the situation and fix it? If
needed, please change the bug's severity.
