Dirk,

as recently discussed on the r-pkg-devel list[1], checking a package with
using the --as-cran option fails when using R 4.3.0-1 currently sitting
in unstable.

Please apply the fix proposed by Ivan Kyrilov on the list, or, alternatively,
apply commit r84321 that addressed the problem upstream as mentioned in
the R bug tracker [2].

To facilitate testing, I have created a test package using your useful
pkgKitten package [3].

Cheers,

Johannes

Thanks. Identifying the SVN patch would have been helpful too :)

I think I will not do this: We are in a freeze, and r-base should not be in
unstable anyway (that was one upload out of 50+ since March where I
accidentally let it slip to unstable, rather than experimental).

By the time Debian unfreezes we may get 4.3.1 which may have it.

Else once we are unfrozen and operating normally I can consider a spot-fix.
But this does not warrant messing with the freeze / throwing another upload
into the mix.  We are asked not to.

Dirk
