Unable to Install Tidyverse in R 4.3.1 Patched

[jrkrideau]

In theory but there are times when it does not. I have had to manually install up to 5 dependent packages to get tidyverse or another package to install.

I do not remember ever seeing a error message like

URL 'xml2_1.3.5.zip': status was 'Failure when receiving data from the peer'
Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :
download from 'xml2_1.3.5.zip' failed

but have a look at

Package install issues - unable to access index for repository - cannot open URL

I suspect this is actually where things are going wrong (there’s “no sparklyr available” because install.packages() can’t even access the repo). Note that if you check the PACKAGES URL that it’s failing to access, there’s definitely an entry for sparklyr. This problem is often the result of proxies, firewalls, or other traffic filtering software blocking R from accessing remote URLs, so maybe start by looking into how your system is set up on that front?

You may have a firewall problem?
