Unit test failure on Mac arm64

[hpages]

Looks like BiocNeighbors's unit tests have been failing on Mac arm64 for a while (6 months at least): https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.18/bioc-mac-arm64-LATEST/BiocNeighbors/kjohnson1-checksrc.html

As a consequence there's no Mac arm64 binary for the package in BioC 3.18: https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.18/BiocNeighbors

Note that this missing binary is currently blocking the propagation of Mac arm64 binaries for 63 Bioconductor packages that depend directly or indirectly on BiocNeighbors in BioC 3.18.

@LTLA Do you think you could take a look at the unit tests? Hopefully it's just a matter of relaxing the expected floating point precision of the results.

Thanks,
H.

Relaxed by several orders of magnitude, let's see how it goes in 1.21.1.

Can you please push this to the RELEASE_3_18 branch? The goal is to produce a Mac arm64 binary for the BioC 3.18 release. Our Mac arm64 builder for devel is not ready yet. Thanks!

[LTLA]

Done.

Awesome thanks! Let see what happens on the next build report for kjohnson1 (should be tomorrow, these arm64 Mac builders are super slow and can only build twice a week).
