datasets mtcars error

[filchristou]

I was running the Turing turorial in linear regression and I discovered that the following code throws an error:

julia> using RDatasets

julia> data = RDatasets.dataset("datasets", "mtcars");
ERROR: MethodError: Cannot `convert` an object of type 
  Parsers.Result{InlineStrings.String31} to an object of type 
  Parsers.Result{Any}
Closest candidates are:

I can't replicate this in Julia 1.10, MacOS. Closing for now - but do you still see this issue?

No, it works fine now (Debian).
