install_github() does not work for specific package in R 3.6.0

[wvictor14]

Apologies if this is not the correct forum to find help for this problem.

I found that my package I developed no longer installs successfully using install_github() in R 3.6.0

remotes::install_github('wvictor14/planet')

I tested it and the install works fine in R 3.5.2, and R 3.5.1, but when I run it on R 3.6.0 I get the following error messages:

devtools::install_github('wvictor14/planet')

I'm not sure exactly what's going on. Possibly something wrong with the sysdata.rda file?

Potentially related: #350 ?

There is a warning during installation, but it is possibly a false positive, you can use the following to install it in spite of the warning.

withr::with_envvar(c(R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS="true"), 
  remotes::install_github('wvictor14/planet')
)

Thank you for the help! This does work for me. I won't reopen this issue, but I would like to figure out the reason for the warning. I'm not super experienced with R package development, so any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I've discovered that this problem is unique to linux

The workaround still works when installing on linux:

withr::with_envvar(c(R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS="true"),
remotes::install_github('wvictor14/planet')
)

But for some reason users cannot access or import data objects with data()

I also tried updating sysdata.rda as some other threads mentioned this may be the reason, but this didn't solve anything.
