Do any other messages print to the console after the ones you posted? If so, can you please paste them here?
When you say nothing happens, do you mean that the last line of the console does not have a prompt ( > )? What are you expecting to see happen?

Could you restart R (in rstudio, Session >> Restart R) and try the following
install.packages("dplyr", verbose=T) and let us know the messages you receive.

Hi, Thank you for the quick response. I tried to install tidyverse in latest Rstudio but after the messages I posted there was no further action from the console and it didn't return with prompt. I tried reinstalling studio and package, waited for a bit longer this time.... all the messages that I posted above popped up again, there was a reasonable delay after that but eventually the issue was resolved somehow and package was installed. Not exactly sure what the problem was though.
