Description

I am developing an R package and I am using packrat to manage dependencies.

I get the following error when I use packrat::restore() and I am not able to restore:

Errore: Unable to retrieve package records for the following packages:
- 'demandr'

Where demandr is the name of the package I am working on. Any suggestion?

Done means identifying why the package record cannot be retrieved and confirming that restore completes successfully; the issue names no files or tests to guide further investigation.
