More ideas welcome. Let's not do that. As this only produces a warning this won't be an issue for users. I think this can be solved with the appopriate hint. The point of Graham's mail was that r-bioc-biocparallel was not the only package that would have needed a hint. If you want to speed this up, we need a full list of packages that need to be urgented or need their autopkgtest regressions investigated. Cheers > > Nilesh -- Sebastian Ramacher
