Error when installing waldo v0.5.2

[agila5]

Dear all,

this is more a curiosity than a real issue (since I was using waldo 0.5.2 since a few hours ago) but, for some reason, I cannot install any more waldo v0.5.2:

remotes::install_github("r-lib/waldo@e31e97de04105491dcb03a921911af2f4eb16dd2")

That commits points to e31e97d. The same error occurs with v0.5.2 from CRAN:

remotes::install_version("waldo", "0.5.2")
# Downloading package from url: https://cran.rstudio.com//src/contrib/Archive/waldo/waldo_0.5.2.tar.gz

Everything works fine with current waldo (i.e. 0.6.1). Just in case it might be useful, I add here my session info

It is because of glue. You'd need glue 1.7.0 to be able to install waldo 0.5.2 tidyverse/glue#331
