[Bioc-devel] Unreproducible build error with toppgene on devel branch on netbiolo2

[Nanda, Pariksheet]

I get a build error on devel [1] with R version 2026-04-17 r89917 [2] on netbiolo2 but I can't reproduce it locally with up-to-date packages and any of these development R versions:
2026-05-04 r89998
2026-04-20 r89917
2026-04-19 r89916
2026-04-19 r89915

Q1) netbioldo2 R r89917 is a bit old; how often is the devel branch R version updated?

Q2) Do failed package build automatically get re-run until they pass, in case their failures are dependency related?
Or is there a way to trigger a re-run without bumping the package version?
I ask because I wonder if it was a dependency version issue given the original error with several S4Vectors functions in the call trace:

* checking tests ...
  Running ‘testthat.R’
 ERROR
Running the tests in ‘tests/testthat.R’ failed.

[2] I'm not sure what's causing the 3 day mismatch in the date listed before the SVN revision.
