R - failed installation of package with github dependency

I want to install a package that has a dependency from github. In the DESCRIPTION file of the package it says

Imports: ggplot2, ggthemr
Remotes: cttobin/ggthemr@0b2e7da43d4d2844b08b039510b31078

However, when I try to install the package, automatic installation of the ggthemr package from github as a dependency fails without any informative error message. It looks like as if it tried to install the dependency from CRAN instead of github.

In the PACKAGES file of the repository where I want to install the package from (a drat repo), the Imports are listed, the Remotes are not. Adding the Remotes line manually does not solve the problem.

Any help is appreciated.
