Please provide a list of the affected packages.
On the r-base tracker page [1], I see:
[2022-04-22] Accepted r-base 4.2.0-1 (source) into unstable (Dirk Eddelbuettel)
[2022-04-19] Accepted r-base 4.1.3.20220415-1 (source) into unstable

(Dirk Eddelbuettel)
In future, please upload these pre-releases to experimental. Also, it
would be good to communicate changes like the graphic engine bump to
debian-r and the release team **before** uploading the final release
to unstable.
The r-base 4.2.0-1 upload is now entangled with the ongoing icu transition [2].
