Hi Kurt, Much appreciate the update.

Are you seeing these too? Should we contact the quanteda | maintainer about this? I have been seeing _fairly consistent_ failures for quanteda with both Rcpp and RcppArmadillo for quite some time. You can see more details at the usual rcpp-logs repo. As such, I have ignored its most recent failure with RcppArmadillo 0.7.960.1.0. The last (of several) reverse depends logs preceding the upload has its summary here: https://github.com/RcppCore/rcpp-logs/blob/master/results/rcpparmadillo/RcppArmadillo-Summary-20170810.txt As you can see: 372 passed, 3 failed and 2 were skipped by my choice. On occassion, I dive into packages that fail, ie Rob's "forecast" apparently only failed for me but not elsewhere. As it was reproducible, Rob and I agreed on a change he made. So it no longer fails for me either. Similarly, preceding the currently-pending upload of a new BH I have reached out to two packages one of which was already updated, the other is pending. But I don't have the bandwidth to chase all failures for all packages, and some are too persistent. And that is why I uploaded RcppArmadillo last Friday.
