Franz,

it means that the author(s) have abandoned the package: as the note says it was failing checks and the authors have not fixed the problems so it has been removed from CRAN (more than a year ago).

Cheers,
Simon

Based on 
https://cran-archive.r-project.org/web/checks/2022/2022-05-16_check_results_mlr3proba.html

   it looks like there were problems with the code (possibly harmless, 
but very unlikely to be exactly as intended) when R started throwing an 
error when vectors of length >1 were used with the && operator; this 
happened with R 4.3.0

https://cran-archive.r-project.org/web/checks/2022/2022-05-16_check_results_mlr3proba.html

\subsection{SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES}{
     \itemize{
       \item Calling \code{&&} or \code{||} with LHS or (if evaluated) 
RHS of
       length greater than one is now always an error, with a report of
       the form
\preformatted{    'length = 4' in coercion to 'logical(1)'}

   Since the errors weren't corrected, the package was archived.

   You can find the maintainer's email in the DESCRIPTION file here: 
https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/mlr3proba/mlr3proba_0.4.9.tar.gz 
   if you want to follow up with them ...

   cheers
    Ben Bolker
