   | Dear maintainer(s),

   | The Release Team considers packages that are out-of-sync between testing    
   | and unstable for more than 30 days as having a Release Critical bug in    
   | testing [1]. Your package src:rcpp has been trying to migrate for 31    
   | days [2], hence this bug report. The current output of the migration    
   | software for this package is copied to the bottom of this report and    
   | should list the reason why the package is blocked.   
   |    
   | If a package is out of sync between unstable and testing for a longer    
   | period, this usually means that bugs in the package in testing cannot be    
   | fixed via unstable. Additionally, blocked packages can have impact on    
   | other packages, which makes preparing for the release more difficult.    
   | Finally, it often exposes issues with the package and/or its    
   | (reverse-)dependencies. We expect maintainers to fix issues that hamper    
   | the migration of their package in a timely manner.   
   |    
   | This bug will trigger auto-removal when appropriate. As with all new    
   | bugs, there will be at least 30 days before the package is auto-removed.   
   |    
   | This bug submission immediately closes the bug with the version in    
   | unstable, so if that version or a later version migrates, this bug will    
   | no longer affect testing. This bug is also tagged to only affect sid and    
   | forky, so it doesn't affect (old-)stable.   
   |    
   | If you believe your package is unable to migrate to testing due to    
   | issues beyond your control, don't hesitate to contact the Release Team.   
      
   This is downstream from me.   
      
   Looking at the error I see for (r-cran-)phylobase at e.g.g amd64 that   
      
     > library('phylobase')   
     Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘phylobase’:   
      object ‘loadRcppModules’ is not exported by 'namespace:Rcpp'   
     Execution halted   
      
   so that is an error in the package's autpkgtest.   
      
   Rcpp (for which I happen to be upstream) no longer exports loadRcppModules   
   because it is a form of using Rcpp Modules that has been superceded for a   
   decade (!!) -- see   
      
     https://github.com/RcppCore/Rcpp/issues/1415   
     https://github.com/RcppCore/Rcpp/pull/1416   
      
   for more.   
      
   It is the same issue with (r-cran-)rncl.   
      
   I am cc'ing debian-r, hopefully someone from the Debian R Packager team wants   
   to take care of this.  (I can point to different Rcpp Modules resources if   
   need be.)   
      
   Cheers, Dirk
