IRkernel dependency not properly recognised

[AlreadyTakenJonas]

I'm currently struggling to move a project of mine from my local computer to the universities jupyter lab server and I think I might have spotted a bug.

I already stumbled across #929 and that is also happening on my system, but I think the issue is not fully resolved. When I create a .ipynb file, renv::status() recognises IRKernel is needed, but the package IRKernel (upper case "K") does not exists and is not installable. The package is actually called IRkernel (with a lower case "k"). I can install IRkernel (lower case "k"), but renv::status() still shows the IRKernel (upper case "K") package as missing dependency.

I case anyone has the same problem: A possible workaround is to set renv::settings$ignored.packages("IRKernel") and create a new .R file containing require(IRkernel).

Thanks!
