[R-pkg-team] Bug#919562: r-cran-checkmate: autopkgtest regression

[Paul Gevers]

Source: r-cran-checkmate
Version: 1.9.0-1

Usertags: regression

Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of r-cran-checkmate the autopkgtest of
r-cran-checkmate fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the
binary packages of r-cran-checkmate from unstable. It passes when run
with only packages from testing. In tabular form:
                       pass            fail
r-cran-checkmate       from testing    1.9.0-1
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.
