So my entire suite of tidyverse packages has decided it will no longer load. I did not do anything or change anything and suddenly scripts that worked last Wednesday are no longer working today.
Here is just a sample of the errors I am getting, when I try to load ggplot2:
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
namespace ‘pillar’ 1.2.2 is being loaded, but >= 1.3.1 is required
So then I tried to install 'pillar' and got this
installing the source package ‘pillar’
trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/pillar_1.4.2.tar.gz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 228815 bytes (223 KB)

Warning in install.packages :

This seems to be an error of filepath specification, but it is a very recent one as the install.packages() function has worked fine up to now. I find it so disconcerting when something that used to work suddenly no longer works and I have made no changes.
