'invalid argument type' error in 'version_satisfies'

To reproduce (apologies, it's not quite minimal...) Note that these remotes were derived from an renv lockfile.

pak::pkg_install(remotes)

I see:

Error in !version_satisfies(candidate$version, resolution$remote[[1]]$atleast,  : 
  invalid argument type

Here's what I see for resolution$remote[[1]]:

List of 1
 $ :List of 6
  ..$ package: chr "R6"
  ..$ atleast: chr ""
  ..$ version: chr "2.5.1"
  ..$ ref    : chr "R6@2.5.1"
  ..$ type   : chr "standard"
  ..$ params : chr(0) 
  ..- attr(*, "class")= chr [1:3] "remote_ref_standard" "remote_ref" "list"

And:

You're right! It works; sorry about that.
