R help - Sep 2023 - only install.packages with type="source" will install packages

Dear members,

Since #2 weeks I have a problem with install.packages() or 
update.packages():

It seems to work, I have no error, but when I run again 
update.packages(), the same package is proposed again.

Example:

 > update.packages()
insight :
 ?Version 0.19.3 installed in 
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3-arm64/Resources/library
 ?Version 0.19.5 available at https://cran.irsn.fr
Update? (Oui/non/annuler) a
cancelled by user
 > install.packages("insight")
essai de l'URL 
'https://cran.irsn.fr/bin/macosx/big-sur-arm64/contrib/4.3/insight_0.19.3.tgz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 2092645 bytes (2.0 MB)
=================================================downloaded 2.0 MB
Les packages binaires t?l?charg?s sont dans
 ?? ?/tmp/RtmpDC1kqM/downloaded_packages
 > update.packages()
insight :
 ?Version 0.19.3 installed in 
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3-arm64/Resources/library
 ?Version 0.19.5 available at https://cran.irsn.fr
Update? (Oui/non/annuler) a
cancelled by user

If I restart R, it gives the same result.

My .libPaths() is "normal":
[1]
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3-arm64/Resources/library"

The solution is to install with type = "source"

 > install.packages("insight", type="source")
essai de l'URL 
'https://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/CRAN/src/contrib/insight_0.19.5.tar.gz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 935072 bytes (913 KB)

Les packages source t?l?charg?s sont dans

Then update.packages() does not return insight package.

Have you an idea of what's happened ?

Thanks

The binary packages are currently a bit behind on updates. The problem
that prevented them from being built has been solved, but now the
builds need to catch up with a large backlog:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel/2023q3/009562.html

You will stop getting this message when the macOS binary package
version 0.19.5 appears instead of the current 0.19.3 at
<https://cran.r-project.org/package=insight>.

There is/was a discrepancy between versions in source form and in binary form
for that package on the CRAN server. (The server that compiles binaries for
MacOS has been stuck recently.) You declined (automatically or explicitly) to
upgrade from source. This meant you kept an out-of-date binary version in your
library when you declined. Updating from source brought you fully up-to-date.

This is normal. If you are not dying to stay on the bleeding edge, ignore the
source-binary discrepancy that leaves you a bit behind... the binary on CRAN
will eventually get updated.
