Usertags: unblock
Severity: normal

Many r-cran-* packages are arch:all but (test-)depend on other packages that are only available on some architectures (usually, only the 64-bit little-endian ones). Hence, autopkgtests on other architectures fail as uninstallable.

If an older version of the package is already in testing and fails on the same architectures, this is ignored as a non-regression failure. However, if the package is not currently in testing at all, then this blocks migration. According to a previous discussion ( https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2025/01/msg00020.html ), the preferred solution to this is to ask you to unblock them.

(Other possibilities would be to add Restriction: skip-not-installable or Architecture: !armhf !i386 !s390x to these autopkgtests, but the first would allow packages to go completely untested if their tests accidentally became uninstallable everywhere, while the second is another thing to change if the set of installable architectures changes.)

Hence, please allow these packages to migrate despite their i386 and/or s390x autopkgtest failures:

(arch:all)
r-cran-animation/2.8+dfsg-1
r-cran-benchmarkme/1.0.8-2
r-cran-benchmarkmedata/2.0.0-1
r-cran-cubelyr/1.0.2-2

Hi,

Hint added for the arch:all packages. Doing that for the arch:<any> packages won't work as these packages can't be installed on i386/s390x as the autopkgtest shows. The migration software will block the migration during the installability phase. For avoidance of doubt, I'll added the hints anyways to show it.
