sf st_layers crashes RStudio

[BasVanDelft]

Hi,

I have used sf (or rgdal) succesfully for the last years. Until last week when I installed the latest versions of both R (4.2.1) and RStudio (2022.07.2 build 576). Most scripts work just fine, but when I use sf, or more specific st_layers(), RStudio crashes: 'R Session aborted etc..' . Before the upgrade I could handle a gpkg of 468 Mb with no problems, so memory doesn't seem to be the problem. I also tried different sollutions proposed on the internet and within this group with no results.

I tried a small testing script on three different computers (all Windows 10) with the same results.

Any suggestions?

For testing I use a much smaller gpkg from GeoPackage/docs/examples/rivers.gpkg at 18cb242558cde3857c49be056973175b39dbe7a6 · ngageoint/GeoPackage · GitHub

I use this code for testing:

         library("tidyverse")
         library("sf")

         st_layers("C:/Programmeren/Test_SF/rivers.gpkg")

loading the libraries:

library("tidyverse")

When I run the st_read statement, I get the session aborted message.

Downgraded R Studio to version 2021.09.4.
Now it doesn't crash anymore, but still odd it crashes at higher versions. Nobody else with the same problem?
