This seems like an issue with conda to me, which we cannot do much about, I am afraid.

[grisaitis]

in what way?

the same command works for r-renv and r-essentials (and any other r- package i try)

[gaborcsardi]

In the way that you are not running any code from the pak package, so I am not sure how we could help you. We also don't create any conda packages, so if there is any issue with r-pak in conda, we cannot help with that, either.

Btw. is it possible that pak is just not packaged in conda?

[grisaitis]

ah ok :) thanks for explaining.

somehow, yes, pak is on conda-forge!

• https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/r-pak
• https://github.com/conda-forge/r-pak-feedstock

and it's been downloaded 20k+ times! i assumed it was maintained as part of this project.

maybe it's automatically generated? eg by some process putting R packages on conda-forge?

anyway, i understand this is not your issue haha
