Some of the dependencies of the package are outdated. Look for lines that look like this, and update those packages first:

I am not sure why install.packages() is not updating them automatically, but you can also give pak a try, it should update and install everything correctly:

pak::pkg_install("seminr")

See All about installing pak. — Installing pak • pak for installing pak.

Hi @Aks83
You are using a quite old version of R (4.1). Would be worth upgrading to the latest version (4.4.2).
