error “object ‘coef.cv.glmnet’ is not exported by 'namespace:glmnet' ” while loading Lime package in R -

Question

I've successfully installed Lime (and glmnet) in R but when I try loading it i receive an error:

> require(lime)
Loading required package: lime
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘lime’:
 object ‘coef.cv.glmnet’ is not exported by 'namespace:glmnet'

Searched online and can't seem to find a solution for this. This is my sessioninfo()

I've updated all my packages. glmnet loads successfully

> library(glmnet)
Loaded glmnet 3.0

The recent major update of glmnet (which now does not export coef.cv.glmnet anymore) appears to have broken lime. You can see errors with the same cause in the CRAN tests . You can expect a fix by the package maintainer soon (or the package will be archived by CRAN). See also this bug report and the answer by the maintainer :

This is due to a recent breaking change in glmnet—lime will be updated soon to fix this
