Notes about issue randomness_in_r_rdb_rds_databases in buster

Identifier: randomness_in_r_rdb_rds_databases
Suites: unstable / trixie / bookworm / bullseye / buster / experimental
Description: R creates .rdb files and .rds with some randomness. They are a serialisation of some
sorts, related to lazy loading of modules?
Randomness seems to come from using absolute paths in .rd[bs] files.
.
Is not related to https://bugs.debian.org/774031 / r_base_appends_built_header_to_description_files
.
We have a pending patch to fix most of these (463/478) packages at the time
of writing) upstream in R:
.
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2017-April/074138.html
.
When this is accepted into R upstream, commit 28d4af25 may be
(un-)reverted to remove these packages. In the meantime, please do not
remove this issue, nor mark it as deterministic, nor untag these packages.
.
The remaining ~15 packages are not completely fixed by this patch, so this
issue should remain, even when our upstream patch is accepted. These
packages will need to be investigated and fixed individually, see our blog
post on how to do that:

Our notes about issues affecting packages are stored in notes.git and are targeted at packages in Debian in 'unstable/amd64' (unless they say otherwise).

A package name displayed with a bold font is an indication that this package has a note. Visited packages are linked in green, those which have not been visited are linked in blue.
A # sign after the name of a package indicates that a bug is filed against it. Likewise, a + sign indicates there is a patch available, a P means a pending bug while # indicates a closed bug. In cases of several bugs, the symbol is repeated.
