Description
If packrat encounters a parse error while detecting dependencies, it ignores the file that has the parse error, with a warning. However, it does not report what the actual parse error was, which would be helpful for resolving the problem.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the dependency-detection path that warns when a file has a parse error, then reproduce the behavior with a file containing invalid R syntax. Done means the existing warning also reports the actual parse error rather than only identifying the ignored file.
