Hi,
Please find below the copy of a message I sent to the maintainer of the "ellipsis" pkg.
I was trying to install keras, from within RStudio. It failed. The error can be found below where I try to install again the package form the tmp download directory:
> install.packages("/tmp/RtmpTamOjs/downloaded_packages/ellipsis_0.3.0.tar.gz", lib="~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/")

The downloaded source packages are in
‘/tmp/RtmpLFYVMQ/downloaded_packages’
Still, the installation of the ellipsis pkg fails....
The paths seem to be correct:
.libPaths()
[1] "/home/gmuller/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6" "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library" "/usr/lib/R/site-library" "/usr/lib/R/library"
I don't understand this error. I search on my preferred search engine, and couldn't find a solution. All the people that encounter a similar error message seem to indeed lack a package and solve the problem simply by installing the missing dependency.
It is not my case. The package is here.
I tried to debug/trace the installation function, but with no success... For instance I cannot manage to access the content of: versionCheck = vI[[i]]
I managed to make my installation work by installing the version of ellipsis that comes with my distribution (XUbuntu: apt install r-cran-ellipsis) and now even the first command (> install.packages("/tmp/RtmpTamOjs/downloaded_packages/ellipsis_0.3.0.tar.gz", lib="~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/") ) works!
I'm totally lost here of what the problem actually is, but there might be a problem in the declarations of the dependencies (or dep versions) needed by ellipsis?
Best Regards,
