[BUG] DataFrames Failing to Load

[TheCedarPrince]

DataFrames seems to not be working on my RHEL 8 machine running Julia 1.7.3:

library(JuliaConnectoR)

pkg <- juliaImport("Pkg")
pkg$activate("TUTORIAL", shared = TRUE) 
pkg$add("DataFrames")
juliaImport("DataFrames")

Which results in this failure:

WARNING: could not import DataAPI.metadata! into DataFrames
WARNING: could not import DataAPI.deletemetadata! into DataFrames

This does not happen on my Fedora 34 machine running Julia 1.8. Any idea as to what is happening?

Either way, really love this package @stefan-m-lenz -- thanks for the great work here!
