I am having a very similar error message but on a mac.
Installing package into ‘/Users/xxxxxxx/Library/R/3.6/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
binary source needs_compilation
broom 0.5.3 0.5.4 FALSE
installing the source package ‘broom’
downloaded 1.2 MB
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
there is no package called ‘broom’
Execution halted
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘broom’ had non-zero exit status
The downloaded source packages are in
‘/private/var/folders/1_/wkz168ld00s6yp03mzzb7qjm0000gn/T/Rtmp5j5wPw/downloaded_packages’
I just updated to R3.6, can't install tidyverse due to absence of broom (I think) but also can't install broom. I've tried restarting my session and installing from github. Am very much an R novice. Had been resisting updating as I was concerned this might happen, any ideas very gratefully received.
