Dear Andreas, No idea, but note that rgdal, rgeos, maptools and rgrass7 will be archived in October 2023.
This has been drawn to the attention of those interested on mailing lists since late 2022: https://github.com/r-spatial/evolution, https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/04/12/evolution.html, https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/12/14/evolution2.html, etc. sp 2.0-0 by default uses sf, not rgdal, for all CRS and transformation, unless somehow you are setting an environment variable or an R option to look for rgdal instead. This option will stop working by the end of September 2023. So the interaction you are seeing, but which I can't reproduce, is from your build of sf with your build of PROJ and GDAL in conjuction with the new default settings of sp to use sf not rgdal. So no updates to rgdal are going to be forthcoming, and your build system will have to move now very quickly to catch up with impending changes. rgdal will be leaving CRAN in about six weeks, you may move to forthcoming sp 2.1-0 which drops rgdal completely if that is easier.

As you either can see in the bug report that was filed[1] or in a recent CI build log[2] it fails with In CRS("+init=epsg:4326") :> sp.tr <- spTransform(sp, CRS("+init=epsg:3857")) sf required for evolution_status==2L Error in spTransform(sp, CRS("+init=epsg:3857")) : source crs creation failed: Invalid PROJ string syntax Calls: spTransform -> spTransform It would be great if you could adapt rgdal to the latest version of sp. Kind regards Andreas. [1] https://bugs.debian.org/1049438 [2] https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/r-cran-rgdal/-/jobs/4562837#L790 -- http://fam-tille.de/
