Thanks @davejarvis. There seem to be multiple problems that we should address (warning, no info about the error, error itself etc.). One to quickly fix is a minimal version requirement for {withr}. Can you download at least version 2.3 and retry and we see if it solves at least one of the problems?

I'm not super skilled with R. If you provide the exact set of R commands to execute, I'll try them.

[lorenzwalthert]

Sure. Easiest is to just get the latest version with

install.packages('withr')

And then re-start the R session.

Worked.

We've added a minimal version requirement for {withr} in #1051. Hence I propose to close this issue.
