Looking closer, the failing tests above were with r-base/3.6.2-1build1, which was uploaded by an Ubuntu developer and included the PPC fix. No autopkgtests were run with r-base/3.6.2-1 in Ubuntu because it didn't build on all architectures. Autopkgtests continue to pass with r-base/3.6.2-2 on ppc64el, and the only diff between it and 3.6.2-1build1 is in the changelog [1]. Autopkgtests continue to fail with r-base/3.6.2-2 on amd64, arm64, armhf and s390x. [1] http://launchpadlibrarian.net/456137318/r-base_3.6.2-1build1_3.6.2-2.diff.gz
