Re: R held back by autopkgtest fail in SparseArray

[Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>]

Following up on this thread, with the new Rdpack now in (thanks, Michael) the
R package 'r-base' is now held back by SparseArray aka r-bioc-sparsearray:

  https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=r-base

where we see
 - on amd64 2 fails, 26998 (!!) passes
 - on arm64 2 fails, 26998 (!!) passes
 - on ppc64el 2 fails, 26998 (!!) passes

The fails look like they could be unrelated / due to a change in testthat or
alike.  It would be nice if one of you group maintainers could maybe get in
contact with upstream (I have not checked at BioConductor) but also 'park'
these two tests (at least temporarily) so that R can proceed to testing.

Thanks,  Dirk
