Package: r-base Version: 3.4.0-1 Severity: minor Hi,
the upstream tarball of r-base contains an empty directory: tests/Pkgs/exNSS4/man when importing r-base into git, this gets lost (because git cannot track empty directories). and with that directory missing, the 'make check' makes the package FTBFS. it would be nice if the upstream build system would create the missing directory if necessary, or, if upstream could put a placeholder file into the directory to preserve it. Regards, Daniel
