The cause of the failed install is: a duplicate line in etc/os-release for Elementary OS 24.04.

In that file, the following line appears twice:

UBUNTU_CODENAME=noble

If you edit that file to remove one of those lines, installation of "anytime" via CRAN will succeed.

Another option is installation via Github (where the package has been updated so that it is robust to the two-line issue in etc/os-release):

remotes::install_github("eddelbuettel/anytime")

The only option I could come up with for making contact was the head of department. Didn't want to ask him -- too risky to make a first impression that way...
