Rdepot 2.6.2 – Replace option does not update package tar.gz

RDepot

Hello,

With version 2.6.2 of rdepot, we noticed that when trying to overwrite an existing R package (same version number) by explicitly checking the “replace” option in the graphical interface, it doesn’t seem to work as expected. Everything appears to go smoothly, BUT the tar.gz file made available is not updated.
We also tried with a curl request and encountered the same issue.
Is this a known bug?

Best regards,
Daria
