R devel - Jan 2022 - trouble with package loading: Function found when exporting methods from the namespace ‘raster’ which is not S4 generic: ‘all.equal’

This contribution below from Roger Bivand seems to answer the issue 
raised on this thread.

Actually it matches quite well Zhian and Duncan's suspicions, doesn'it ?

Best,

Patrick

Dear Patrick,

Could you follow up on R-package-devel and R-devel that (from 
https://github.com/rspatial/terra/issues/514):
CRAN has not yet updated terra to 1.5-12 for R 4.1.2 (since two weeks it 
is still the previous version).

I will send a new version to CRAN this weekend, hopefully it will get 
build for windows. What happens is that raster is dependent on that 
version of terra (or later), so you should first do

install.packages('terra')

(once Windows terra_1.5-17.zip is published and on your mirror) and then

install.packages('raster')

Best wishes,

Roger
