Because the version from testing 0.12.1-4 is failing which does not have allow-stderr restriction.
The new version 0.12.7 you uploaded has it. The new version is blocked from migrating because of libgclib.
libgclib is further blocked from migrating because of ABI breakage. And this change is in NEW.
So we are moving in circles. Why are simple changes so slow so god damn difficult to do at times?!
I guess a not very good workaround would be to add an explicit breaks for gffread (<< 0.12.1-4~) in r-bioc-gviz that would tell Britney the right thing to do. More ideas welcome.
