I installed Fedora on a virtual machine, no problem  (it is assigned a space in /tmp).  I would really appreciate it if someone who runs Debian or Fedora could test the following:

| install.packages("rerddap",  dependencies = TRUE)
| library(rerddap)
| cache_setup(temp_dir = TRUE)

If you could run that and send me the result I would appreciate it (snd privately no need to spam the list with that).  I am at a loss as to how to respond to CRAN because I can't reproduce that error on anything I can test.  The cacheing is actually done by the package 'crul'.  

I used r2u [1] here to install the thirty-six (!!) required dependencies in a
five or so seconds [2], for convenience in Docker with the Ubuntu 22.04
image.  So from

  docker run --rm -ti eddelbuettel/r2u:jammy bash

to

  apt update -qq 
  install.r rerddap

and then as you requested

  > library(rerddap)
  > cache_setup(temp_dir = TRUE)
  [1] "/tmp/Rtmp3sVsk1/R/rerddap"

which seems correct: within the per-R-session temp directory.

Hth, Dirk
