Package: dh-r
Version: 20241218

R 4.5 added at least one symbol (R_getVar) to the C API, but did not increment r-api.

Some R packages (that can be built against either R 4.4 or 4.5) link to this symbol when built against R 4.5. Hence, if such a package is built against R 4.5, attempting to import it in R 4.4 will fail. Such packages hence should Depend on r-base-core (>= 4.5.0~), but in current dh-r, they do not.

pkg-r-autopkgtest should catch this if it is run, but autopkgtests are only run for sourceful uploads, not binNMUs. Hence, at least two such packages have reached testing: r-cran-svglite #1103369 and r-cran-timechange #1103118.

Hi Rebecca,

as discussed with Dirk, we are not going to change r-api this time.

Closing accordingly.

Cheers,

Charles
