This is not a bug in pak. It is a bug in ggplot2, fixed in ggplot2 3.4.3. Use an older R version (R 4.3.x or older) or a newer ggplot2 version.

Maybe we should change the Docs, since now pkg_install use tidyverse/ggplot2@v3.4.0 as an example. See https://github.com/r-lib/pak/blob/b84ff8bb92c32e67a22b01b9cee78976acab3882/R/package.R#L11
