What package? A package / repo name would have helped here. Did I miss it?

One of my golden rules for debugging is the old "doctor, doctor, I hurt when
I do this" joke. There is no shame in disabling a test that bites: "if it
hurts, don't do it". The next step then is is to reproduce locally---which is
still an uphill battle because CRAN, resource contrained as they are, have
not provided their setups in ways that are easily reproducible by us mortals.
