Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi,
The old r-cran-v8 version (1.5) was built against libv8-3.14-dev which is too buggy for Buster. Since the new version 2.0, upstream made it compatible to libnode-dev. So, there was a change in the build-deps of r-cran-v8 which lead to missing builds due to differential architectures supported by libv8 and libnode. At least the missing build for armel will block the transition to buster. According to $ rmadison r-cran-v8 | grep "unstable " r-cran-v8 | 1.5-3 | unstable | source, armel, hurd-i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386 r-cran-v8 | 2.0+dfsg-1 | buildd-unstable | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x r-cran-v8 | 2.0+dfsg-1 | unstable | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x version 1.5-3 should be removed from Debian. Thanks a lot. Best, Dylan
