Nobody in R core runs NixOS and can reproduce this. This passes on most
other platforms, apparently. If you can point us to a problem or send
patches, we'd appreciate it.

Hi,
I maintain the R packages in the NixOS Linux distribution [1]. A while
ago, I attempted to update to version 3.1.1, but I ran into the
following test suite failure:

I reported that issue at [2], and waited for something to happen. Now,
version 3.1.2 comes out and I try to update again, but it has the exact
same error. Apparently, no-one cares about the problem we've run into?
Now, I wonder how to proceed. It doesn't look like this issue is going
to be fixed any time soon. So I guess I should disable the "make check"
phase in NixOS and ship software to our users that doesn't pass its own
self-test?
Best regards,
Peter
