As per Brian Ripley's direction:

'microbenchmark' is a package that does not work at all on some platforms (e.g. Sparc Solaris) and is flaky on others (e.g. my Windows laptop). And its nominal maintainer has vanished.

This makes it undesirable for packages to strictly depend on it, but packages

do. Also, if it is used in Suggests: it should be used conditionally (see §1.1.3.1 of the manual), but packages

do not do so.

Please update your package(s).

Include the package conditionally or don't use it unconditionally. I opted for the latter.
