We have the salsa CI results, and it's clear that testthat is getting loaded now as opposed to the last CI.
The new error fails because it does not have tximportData.
Fixing this should be straightforward as well, provided we have it in the archive.
Can you do this?
If you are getting the same error locally, then your likely need to update your schroot, and install the latest versions of autodep8 and autopkgtest packages.
And that said, the autopkgtests do not even install dependencies for me in the chroot, because some dependency of this package hasn't been built with bioc api 3.13 and that looks legit to me.
I'm a bit surprised that both salsa CI and your build environment are able to satisfy deps.
Either the images at both are not the latest, or the error is sitting in front of my screen not very sure.
