Tidyverse not loading because of issue with dbplyr

Hi,

I am getting this error:

> library(tidyverse)
Error in completeSubclasses(classDef2, class1, obj, where) : 
  trying to get slot "subclasses" from an object of a basic class ("NULL") with no slots
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’:
 .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'dbplyr', details:
  call: setClass(cl, contains = c(prevClass, "VIRTUAL"), where = where)
  error: error in contained classes ("character") for class “ident”; class definition removed from ‘dbplyr’

I have tried to update 'dbplyr' as suggested here; I have also tried to reload it manually, or to load 'Matrix' first as suggested here.

Hi Emy,

I had the same issue. It seems to have been caused by a bug in the Brobdingnag package which hasn't been updated on CRAN yet (as described here). When I installed the development version it worked fine:

devtools::install_github("RobinHankin/Brobdingnag")
