Hello Nan. Thanks again for the package. I tried to run it under a dedicated debian server and run into the following issue, which in my opinion should not happen under --skip-r-install.

revdeprun --skip-r-install https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table.git
# / Workspace ready (clone root: /home/fha)
# / Resolving R version 'release' (failed)
# revdeprun: failed to resolve requested R version

# Caused by:
#     0: version API returned error for request https://api.r-hub.io/rversions/resolve/release/linux-debian-13/x86_64
#     1: HTTP status client error (404 Not Found) for url (https://api.r-hub.io/rversions/resolve/release/linux-debian-13/x86_64)

                                               "Linux"
                                               release
                                 "6.12.63+deb13-amd64"
                                               version
"#1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.63-1 (2025-12-30)"

FWIW I only tried with --skip-r-install because it runs into the same issue when trying to install R without the flag.
