Adding covr as an extra-package in setup-r-dependencies fails

[edmondop]

I am trying to add COVR as a code coverage library, and the setup-libraries will now fail with the following error: covr: dependencies must be TRUE, FALSE, NA or a list of dependency types

This is my failing step:

      - uses: r-lib/actions/setup-r-dependencies@v2
        with:
          extra-packages: any::rcmdcheck, covr
          needs: check

The doc says: "extra-packages - One or more extra package references to install. Separate each reference by newlines or commas for more than one package."

Run r-lib/actions/setup-r-dependencies@v2
Run ## Installing pak

This is probably a bug, but can you try any::covr, which is better, anyway?

[edmondop]

It worked! thank you so much :) What does adding any:: imply?
