Pinning R 4.0 with runtime.txt on mybinder.org not working as expected

See original GitHub issue

Bug description

Pinning the R version to 4.0 using runtime.txt on mybinder.org does not work – I get R 4.1 instead.

Expected behaviour

I expect R version 4.0.5 (“Shake and Throw”):

> R.version.string
[1] "R version 4.0.5 (2021-03-31)"

Actual behaviour

I get R version 4.1.0 (“Camp Pontanezen”):

> R.version.string
[1] "R version 4.1.0 (2021-05-18)"

How to reproduce

Set up a repository with the following runtime.txt:

r-4.0-2021-05-19

Your personal set up

I am using the mybinder.org service.

Versions:

jupyterhub --version: 1.3.0

Using R from runtime.txt gets it from apt, and https://github.com/jupyterhub/repo2docker/pull/1104 (particularly https://github.com/jupyterhub/repo2docker/pull/1104/commits/5246a0e7c242d98bac44fa5620c42f6477d185bc) fixes this bug.

It works now, maybe because of #1114. Not sure though.
