Ran into an issue where a GitHub package (
bbolker/broom.mixed) correctly installed butshelf()reports that the package "failed to install and was not attached" (see Output 1 below for console dump). But it did indeed install — I can see it in my R Library folder — so only the latter part of that error is true.Trying to attach the package with
shelf()raises the same error (Output 2), making it clear that a) the package is installed becauseshelf()can see it, and b) shelf fails to attach it. Attaching it with base R methodlibrary()works just fine, and sincelibrary()is whatshelf()uses internally, the package must not be getting to the attachment phase at all.Is this an issue with the
.in the package name?Output 1
Output 2
