R-CMD-check fails on macos-latest (release); r-lib/actions/setup-r@v2

Package development

Hello. I'm having issues with My R-CMD-check on this package: Workflow runs · bmait101/hatchR · GitHub

It only occurs on macos-latest (release) and not locally on my computer. or using when using devtools::check_mac_release(). I am using a Dell with Windows, not a Mac. It occurred once two days ago, not yesterday, and is occurring again today.

My error is from r-lib/actions/setup-r@v2: Error: Failed to get R release: Failed to get R 4.4.2: Failed to install qpdf: Error: The process '/opt/homebrew/bin/brew' failed with exit code 1.

If anybody can see what's wrong here, help would be appreciated. Workflow file located here: hatchR/.github/workflows/R-CMD-check.yaml at master · bmait101/hatchR · GitHub

Thanks

Several of my Actions are failing for the same reason. These Actions have been running successfully for years.

here's one of mine:

i think this might be a homebrew issue, but still unsure.

Another "this is happening to me too" reply here.
I encountered this problem yesterday. It resolved itself without me doing anything, but now I’m back to experiencing the same issue.
macOS: Failed to install qpdf.

This is an error either in Homebrew or the runner image (version 20241119.509). The latest runner image (20241022.361) fixes this, it is being deployed right now. Deployment is a long process, so it might still be happening for some time.

EDIT: Actually, this is backwards. 20241022.361 was ok, 20241119.509 broke the install. But the latest release of r-lib/actions@v2 fixed this.
