Rvest is an R package that is need by other packages. Specially by
tidyverse package, which is very widely used.
However, latest version 1.0.4, the package r-rvest does not pass the
tests that the developer has prepared in R. This makes that other
packages like r-tidyverse cannot be installed either.
