Package dependency mismatch: gt 0.11.1 requires fs >= 1.6.4 but repo has fs 1.6.3.9000

Description

The webR binary package repository contains gt version 0.11.1, which requires fs >= 1.6.4, but only fs version 1.6.3.9000 is available in the repository. This causes gt to fail to load:

  Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
    namespace 'fs' 1.6.3.9000 is being loaded, but >= 1.6.4 is required

See the DESCRIPTION file here: https://github.com/rstudio/gt/blob/v0.11.1/DESCRIPTION#L41

Version Information

From https://repo.r-wasm.org/bin/emscripten/contrib/4.4/PACKAGES:

• gt version: 0.11.1 (requires fs >= 1.6.4)
• fs version: 1.6.3.9000

Note

The wasm release for fs is currently failing on https://r-lib.r-universe.dev/, so loading fs from that repo is not currently an available workaround

Thanks for reporting! The fs package needs some tricky modifications for Wasm so we maintain our own r-wasm fork here.

I've updated the fork to the latest version of fs, pushed it to the default webR repo, and things should now hopefully be working as expected again.
