That was because of the new upload, but I see the results there now.

The packages with failing autopkgtests are:

r-bioc-iranges/2.36.0-1
r-bioc-mutationalpatterns/3.12.0+dfsg-1
r-bioc-s4vectors/0.40.2+dfsg-1
r-cran-data.table/1.14.10+dfsg-1
r-cran-ff/4.0.12+ds-1

For the pseudo-excuses in experimental only amd64 and arm64 are
tested, no 32-bit architectures.

I think "discuss" was probably not the best word for Paul to suggest here.

You only need to inform the maintainers of the affected packages, and
that can be done by filing RC bugs against the affected versions.  If
the packages don't get updated, auto-removal will take care of them.
The sooner this is done, the better.
