[Steve Langasek]

Package: r-cran-bbmisc
Version: 1.11-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu bionic ubuntu-patch autopkgtest

Hi Andreas,

r-cran-bbmisc has recently started failing its autopkgtests in Debian and
Ubuntu:

Loading required package: BBmisc
-- 1. Failure: lsort (@test_lsort.R#5)  ----------------------------------------
lsort(c("a", "<U+00E4>", "<U+00F6>", "o")) not equal to c("a", "o", "<U+00E4>", "<U+00F6>").
4/4 mismatches
x[1]: "\u00e4"
y[1]: "a"

x[2]: "\u00f6"
y[2]: "o"

x[3]: "a"
y[3]: "\u00e4"

x[4]: "o"
y[4]: "\u00f6"


[...]
== testthat results  ===========================================================
OK: 736 SKIPPED: 2 FAILED: 1
1. Failure: lsort (@test_lsort.R#5) 

Error: testthat unit tests failed
Execution halted
autopkgtest [09:50:30]: test run-unit-test: -----------------------]

(https://ci.debian.net/packages/r/r-cran-bbmisc/unstable/amd64/)

I don't know why this autopkgtest has regressed, but it is trivially fixed
by using the C.UTF-8 locale instead of overriding it to C.  A patch is
attached.

Cheers,
