We have 1.4-22 in Debian, which is also the latest on cran. So I don't think the version thingy specifically with terra should be a problem.
Does it need a specific version of terra and not the latest?

And excuse my lack of knowledge, but if you check the logs below, the version of lapack is 3.10.0 and I've seen things breaking with changes in lapack versions. Could that cause some problems here?

I took care of all the adjustments. Tried with newer terra from cran (and not from the Debian archive) as well, the result is same for me.

We will see. Thanks for the help though.
