Failing tests

Hi @LTLA

Thanks for your work on DropletUtils.
Actually, the corresponding package in Debian is failing with (version 1.12.2 and 1.12.3 both):

> test_check("DropletUtils")
══ Failed tests ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

I somehow suspect if these tests are not compatible with rhdf5 version 2.36.0? (Latest in bioconductor)

Full log can be found here
Any hint/fix is really appreciated

Nothing obvious comes to mind. The same tests pass fine on the BioC build machines for release and devel. And nothing has changed in the relevant function for 8 months.
