Description

I am trying to take a snapshot of my project that includes the following package

install.packages("rnaturalearthhires", repos = "http://packages.ropensci.org", type = "source")

Unfortunately, when I run packrat:status(), I get the following error

Error: Unable to retrieve package records for the following packages:
- "rnaturalearthhires

Do you know how I could add this repo so I can add this package to my snapshot?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with install.packages("rnaturalearthhires", repos = "http://packages.ropensci.org", type = "source") and packrat:status(). Trace how packrat retrieves package records for a snapshot, then verify that the ropensci repository and rnaturalearthhires are handled successfully without the retrieval error.
