Description

When I try to use Packrat with RStudio 0.99.1285, I have an issue where I have loaded a package that Packrat thinks needs to be updated into my library (and is in my lock file), but when I try to install it back into my workspace, I get the following error:
Installing manipulate (1.0.1) ...
Error in dir_copy(file.path(cacheLibDir(pkgRecord$name, pkgRecord$hash)), :
Directory already exists at path '/Users/petergensler/Desktop/SuperStore Analysis/packrat/lib/x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0/3.3.1/manipulate'.

I don't think packrat is fully restoring all of the packages from my lock file. Attached is my session info, and the lock file. Let me know how I can help.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Packrat restore or install flow described in the issue with the provided lock file and session information. Investigate the dir_copy error for the existing manipulate directory under packrat/lib, and consider the work complete when restoring the locked package no longer fails because that directory already exists.
