Error in readRDS(pfile) : error reading from connection

RStudio IDE

Never seen this error before. I installed RStudio 1.1.463 - Ubuntu 16.04+/Debian 9+ (64-bit) on Ubuntu 18.04.2. Whenever I click the "Packages" tab, I get this message:

Error in readRDS(pfile) : error reading from connection

I try installing, say, magrittr, and it goes through the installation process but fails with a similar error message.

What output do you get from

.libPaths()

I get

[1] "/home/fjcc/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.5" "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"               
[3] "/usr/lib/R/site-library"                      "/usr/lib/R/library"

I have seen the library paths get corrupted and then packages could not be found or installed.
