While investigating this failure, I noticed the following output in
the test log:
> library('glmmTMB')
Warning message:
In checkMatrixPackageVersion() : Package version inconsistency detected.
TMB was built with Matrix version 1.2.18
Current Matrix version is 1.3.2
Please re-install 'TMB' from source using install.packages('TMB', type
= 'source') or ask CRAN for a binary version of 'TMB' matching CRAN's
'Matrix' package
This is a clear sign that r-cran-tmb is missing some versioned
dependency on the version of r-cran-matrix that it was built against.
I did try rebuilding r-cran-tmb locally and indeed, the warning
message did go away, but unfortunately this did not help with the
actual failure.
