Build failing due to curl update

The most recent build of my bggum package (build link here) failed when an update to curl was attempted; the relevant portion starts at line 160 and you can see the error message at line 290; here's an abbreviated reproduction:
+ Rscript -e 'options(repos=c(CRAN="https://cran.rstudio.com")); remotes::install_deps(dependencies = TRUE, type="both")'
askpass (NA -> 1.1 ) [CRAN]
backports (1.1.2 -> 1.1.3 ) [CRAN]
callr (3.0.0 -> 3.1.1 ) [CRAN]
clipr (0.4.1 -> 0.5.0 ) [CRAN]
curl (3.2 -> 3.3 ) [CRAN]
...
package 'curl' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Error: (converted from warning) cannot remove prior installation of package 'curl'
Execution halted
Command exited with code 1
Perhaps it's related to issue #76 ? The difference here being that I am in no way trying to manually change or update the curl version; it's just part of the normal default dependency updating -- I think. Any tips on workarounds, or something to look into that I may have inadvertently messed up?
Thanks!
If anyone else encounters this issue, I was able to get around it by deleting the cache.
I have this, and deleting the cache doesn't help! Again, I have no explicit dependency on curl, but it is pulled in as a recursive dependency of devtools itself, which is in Suggests: ...
Set R_REMOTES_STANDALONE=true, see https://github.com/r-lib/remotes#standalone-mode.
Then the installation will not use curl.
