Looks like things are failing while attempting to update some other packages:

> remotes::install_github("rstudio/blogdown")
Downloading GitHub repo rstudio/blogdown@master

Enter a frame number, or 0 to exit

12: stopifnot(is.remote(remote))

Looks like this is caused by NULL entries sneaking into the set of package dependencies:

I believe this is because some of the packages I have were installed by pak, and list their RemoteType as standard which is not yet understood by the remotes package.
