Installing ggExtra via install.packges('ggExtra') or via devtools::install_github("daattali/ggExtra") fails in R 3.6:

ERROR: failed to lock directory ‘/home/sim1/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6’ for modifying
Try removing ‘/home/sim1/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/00LOCK-httpuv’
Error: Failed to install 'ggExtra' from GitHub:

httpuv doesn't remove folders from unseccussful installations. Removing of httpuv and 00LOCK-httpuv and re-installing worked fine for me
