There is a not a lot I can do: Upstream made a change to also depend on CRAN package doBy which itself depends on Deriv. So I packaged r-cran-doby and r-cran-deriv, but they are needed. CRAN works (extremely well) with coordinated cohorts. In short, "everything builds at HEAD". We have a larger setup and other transitions can get in the way but every now and then testing will lag unstable. If you think there is anything I could or should do let me know. I packaged the newest upstream version, and looked after its dependencies.
