Hi, just to give some update about those type of r-bioc-* related bugs: We need to do the transition to the next BioC release and upload every single r-bioc-* package. This will not happen this week due to time constraints (and updating r-cran-packages after the release). If it might help the r-base-* transition removal of those r-bioc-* packages that are affected by the test suite issues this is perfectly fine.
Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
