Can't execute query from gdal_utils + ogrinfo

[latot]

Hi!, I'm trying to use ogrinfo to remove a table from a gpkg:

a <- sf::st_sf(geom = sf::st_sfc())
sf::st_write(a, "tmp.gpkg", layer = "hahah")

sf::gdal_utils(
  util = "ogrinfo",
  "tmp.gpkg",
  options = c(
    "-sql", "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS hahah",
    "-dialect", "sqlite"
  )
)

And I got the next error:

In CPL_ogrinfo(if (missing(source)) character(0) else source, options,  :
  GDAL Error 1: In ExecuteSQL(): sqlite3_step(DROP TABLE IF EXISTS hahah):
  attempt to write a readonly database

This command works fine from ogrinfo in the terminal.

Pls reinstall from source, and try again.

@edzer sorry for the time, I was very busy, I reinstalled from source, restarted R, and I got the same result.

I upgraded the reprex above to also shows how to create the file.

mm, I has this ones:

sf::sf_extSoftVersion()
          GEOS           GDAL         proj.4 GDAL_with_GEOS     USE_PROJ_H

          PROJ 
       "9.2.1"

We have GDAL and PROJ with different versions. Also I run this on /tmp folder.
