| Dear maintainer(s),

| The Release Team considers packages that are out-of-sync between testing 
| and unstable for more than 30 days as having a Release Critical bug in 
| testing [1]. Your package src:rcpp has been trying to migrate for 31 
| days [2], hence this bug report. The current output of the migration 
| software for this package is copied to the bottom of this report and 
| should list the reason why the package is blocked.
| 
| If a package is out of sync between unstable and testing for a longer 
| period, this usually means that bugs in the package in testing cannot be 
| fixed via unstable. Additionally, blocked packages can have impact on 
| other packages, which makes preparing for the release more difficult. 
| Finally, it often exposes issues with the package and/or its 
| (reverse-)dependencies. We expect maintainers to fix issues that hamper 
| the migration of their package in a timely manner.
| 
| This bug will trigger auto-removal when appropriate. As with all new 
| bugs, there will be at least 30 days before the package is auto-removed.
| 
| This bug submission immediately closes the bug with the version in 
| unstable, so if that version or a later version migrates, this bug will 
| no longer affect testing. This bug is also tagged to only affect sid and 
| forky, so it doesn't affect (old-)stable.
| 
| If you believe your package is unable to migrate to testing due to 
| issues beyond your control, don't hesitate to contact the Release Team.

This is downstream from me.

Looking at the error I see for (r-cran-)phylobase at e.g.g amd64 that

  > library('phylobase')
  Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘phylobase’:
   object ‘loadRcppModules’ is not exported by 'namespace:Rcpp'
  Execution halted

so that is an error in the package's autpkgtest.

Rcpp (for which I happen to be upstream) no longer exports loadRcppModules
because it is a form of using Rcpp Modules that has been superceded for a
decade (!!) -- see

  https://github.com/RcppCore/Rcpp/issues/1415
  https://github.com/RcppCore/Rcpp/pull/1416

for more.

It is the same issue with (r-cran-)rncl.

I am cc'ing debian-r, hopefully someone from the Debian R Packager team wants
to take care of this.  (I can point to different Rcpp Modules resources if
need be.)

Cheers, Dirk
