Well, if its only gffread (despite I have no idea why this test fails on debci while passing for me locally and on Salca CI) we can easily droping all r-bioc-* packages from its test. The test is just checking *all* packages in Debian that are featuring a gff file and just reads those files. Droping r-bioc-* packages leaves a sufficient amount of other files to test ... and the warnings are happening not for a single r-bioc-* package but for other ones. But may be if you can work around this with some hinting that is the easier solution here. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
