Hi,
It looks like binaries for uuid 1.1-0 are not available for R 4.1 on
Windows. However, available.packages() reports that it is available:
options(repos = c(CRAN = "https://cran.r-project.org";))
db <- available.packages(type = "binary")
str(as.list(db["uuid", ]))

install.packages("uuid", type = "both")
And so this implies that attempts to install 'uuid' will by default
fail, as type = "both" will attempt to select the non-existent binary:
install.packages("uuid", type = "both")

Are there plans to publish a binary version of this version of uuid
for Windows, or does the PACKAGES database need to be updated on CRAN?
For what it's worth, https://cran.r-project.org/package=uuid does
indicate that the Windows binary for r-release is not available, but
the link points to a non-existent ReadMe file.
Indeed, both the Readme and the binary vesion should be there and
apparently a local automated rsync call on my side failed somehow.
Now everything is in order to be synced by the CRAN master again and
should be there within less than 24 hours.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
Thanks,
Kevin
