devtools::update_packages() finds updated package, but installs earlier version

[jzadra]

For some reason devtools::update_packages() is finding an updated version, but then installs a different, earlier version of the package:

> packageVersion("httr2")
[1] ‘1.0.1’
> devtools::update_packages()
These packages have more recent versions available.
It is recommended to update all of them.
Which would you like to update?

1: All                          
2: CRAN packages only           
3: None                         
4: httr2 (1.0.1 -> 1.0.2) [CRAN]

Enter one or more numbers, or an empty line to skip updates: 4
httr2 (1.0.1 -> 1.0.2) [CRAN]

Use type = "source" as a workaround.
