[R-pkg-team] Bug#919560: r-cran-callr: autopkgtest regression

Version: 3.1.1-1

Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of r-cran-callr the autopkgtest of r-cran-callr
fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages
of r-cran-callr from unstable. It passes when run with only packages
from testing. In tabular form:
                       pass            fail
r-cran-callr           from testing    3.1.1-1
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 to testing [1]. Can
you please investigate the situation and fix it? If needed, please
change the bug's severity.
