** Description changed:

  Please sync r-base 3.4.1.20170921-1 (universe) from Debian unstable
  (main)
  
  Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
  While 3.4.1.20170921-1 is a release candidate of the upcoming 3.4.2 bugfix 
release, the Debian packaging includes a change from providing 'r-api-3' to 
'r-api-3.4'.  This will require no-change rebuilds of just about every R 
package.  This is due to an R ABI break that affects an unknown number of 
packages already in Ubuntu (see Debian #861333).
  
- Ben file for the transition from Sébastien Villemot already pushed to bazaar:
- 
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-transition-trackers/ubuntu-transition-tracker/configs/view/head:/monitor/planned/r-api.ben
+ I count 516 packages that depend on src:r-base and will require
+ rebuilding.  None are in main or restricted and none are seeded.
  
- title = "r-api-3.4";
- is_affected = .depends ~ /r-api-3(\.4)?/;
- is_good = .depends ~ /r-api-3\.4/;
- is_bad = .depends ~ /r-api-3\b/;
- 
- I count 516 packages that reverse-depend on src:r-base and will require
- rebuilding.  None are in main or restricted and none are seeded.
+ Ben says 460 packages that depend on virtual package r-api-3:
+ http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/transitions/r-api.html
  
  I have local access to an Ubuntu mirror during the day and will be able
  to take care of uploading the no-change rebuilds.
  
  During May 2017, after R 3.4.0-1 autosync'd, I uploaded 20 no-change
  rebuilds and autopkgtest fixes to Ubuntu and a similar number of new
  upstream versions directly into Debian in order to complete its
  migration.
  
  Changelog entries since current artful version 3.4.1-2:
  
  r-base (3.4.1.20170921-1) unstable; urgency=medium
  
    * Initial rc build (r73337) of R 3.4.2 expected for Sep 28
  
    * debian/control: Package r-base-core now 'Provides: r-api-3.4' per the
      Debian Release team. I still consider this to be wrong (as there was
      no API change) but my hands are tied here.
  
    * debian/compat: Increased to 9
    * debian/control: Set Standards-Version: to current version
  
    * debian/README.source: Added
