[R-pkg-team] Bug#924514: multcomp breaks r-cran-dosefinding autopkgtest

Source: multcomp, r-cran-dosefinding

Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of multcomp the autopkgtest of r-cran-dosefinding
fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages
of multcomp from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from
testing. In tabular form:
                       pass            fail
multcomp               from testing    1.4-10-1
r-cran-dosefinding     from testing    0.9-16-2
versioned deps [0]     from testing    from unstable
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. Unfortunately,
there is no error reported, but successful runs have more output.

Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report against both
packages. Can you please investigate the situation and reassign the bug
to the right package? If needed, please change the bug's severity.

[0] You can see what packages were added from the second line of the log
file quoted below. The migration software adds source package from
unstable to the list if they are needed to install packages from
multcomp/1.4-10-1. I.e. due to versioned dependencies or breaks/conflicts.
