Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of r-base the autopkgtest of 9 r-cran-* fail in
testing (and unstable) when their autopkgtests are run with the binary
packages of r-base from unstable. It passes in testing when run with
only packages from testing.

Apart from the freeze, this regression is blocking the migration of
r-base to testing [1]. Can you please investigate the situation? If the
issue (also) needs to be solved in the packages with the regressing
autopkgtest than please clone this bug and reassign to the right
package. Because this uploads breaks so many autopkgtests, I filed this
bug only against r-base, normally I file these kind of bugs against both
packages that are involved, but I X-Debbugs-CC-ed the maintainers of the
other packages.

More information about this bug and the reason for filing it can be found on
