Just FYI, I've had a lot of students in the last 2-weeks reporting errors like
this about other packages with dependencies that have their own dependencies.
The full chain doesn't appear to be being followed.
For some, on Macs I think, they also have the problem of install.packages()
trying to install a source version which is newer than the current CRAN binary,
and then failing because the required compiler isn't present.
Also, sometimes a package will get listed as being installed one or more times
(this happened for "crayon" last week) , then not ending up installed at all.
There was a strange issue with the "stringi" package being missing despite
multiple install.packages() calls by students to the top level package that
ultimately wanted it.
Most solved by reading the error, manually installing (forcing binary if
necessary) the missing package, and repeating until done.
Of course this leads to lots of "it's broken" and "no... it didn't work"
hassles :-)
Best, tim (currently happy the mac TZ warning has gone away in 3.4.4 :-) )
