Research direction

Open R/Dockerfile and inspect the pak/Rust installation step. Build the R image to reproduce the missing rustc failure, then confirm the image builds successfully with rustc and cargo available.

Description

R

https://github.com/eWaterCycle/remotebmi/blob/main/R/Dockerfile

routr 2.0.0 now needs Rust. pak tries to install it with a curl … | sh script, but the image has no curl command, so that step fails silently and the build then stops with rustc: not found. Adding apt -y install rustc cargo fixes it
