Hi! From one day to another I started getting this error on my github actions for R-CMD check.

Run Rscript -e "remotes::install_github('r-hub/sysreqs')"
  Rscript -e "remotes::install_github('r-hub/sysreqs')"
  sysreqs=$(Rscript -e "cat(sysreqs::sysreq_commands('DESCRIPTION'))")
  sudo -s eval "$sysreqs"
  shell: /bin/bash -e {0}
  env:
    R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS: true
    _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_: false
    _R_CHECK_dontrun_EXAMPLES_: false
    RSPM: https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/cran/__linux__/xenial/latest
    R_LIBS_USER: /home/runner/work/_temp/Library

Error: Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub:

Any idea why? Thanks!

This seems like a network failure, or maybe GitHub API rate limiting failure.

@laresbernardo This started happening to me too recently. Fixed it by changing the GA yaml file to

      - name: Install system dependencies
        if: runner.os == 'Linux'
        run: |
          while read -r cmd
          do
            eval sudo $cmd
          done < <(Rscript -e 'writeLines(remotes::system_requirements("ubuntu", "16.04"))')

following the dplyr repo example.

@bpbond thanks for sharing your solution. It did not solve the issue for me though. I found this fix instead in the RStudio community forum. Worked for me here. I hope this can help others...
