The devdocs build always seems to fail on these branches but that's ok. I suspect (but haven't dug to the bottom to confirm this) is that we are installing from apt the release version and we are installing the same version so our use-the-dev-version code isn't catching like it does in all other circumstances. (it failed for #44523 as well, but it is passing in the nightlies)

The failure of test-r-rhub-debian-gcc-devel-lto-latest is a bit more concerning. It looks like that's been failing for 12 days now. I don't see anything obvious in our repo just after 27bbd59...0cdbdac but I also don't see any changes in the image that these run on either: https://github.com/r-hub/containers/commits/main/ But those tests don't run on CRAN, so we should be ok to submit, though we should make an issue and figure out what's up there.

The recheck job looks red, but I think it's ok looking at the output? Am I reading that correctly?

Thanks for taking a look @jonkeane.

1. Re: devocs-ubuntu: Ah, yep. I should've checked previous runs. Good thing to note.
2. Re: test-r-rhub-debian-gcc-devel-lto-latest, I'll file an issue for that in a bit.
3. Re: r-recheck: I agree that this is just noise and that we're good in terms of revdep checks.

Closing as we're done testing and 18.1.0 is on CRAN.
