[R] withr::set_makevars

As a follow-up to this,  thanks to Bill Dunlap I was able to resolve what was causing this problem (I still had problems with covr::package_coverage() - but of a different sort and not directly related to this report,  I had an existing .R/Makevars file,  created in Nov. 2014 related to the installation of the rstan package. Commenting out some of the rstan specific lines removed this set of error messages.

After installing goodpractice, it kept failing on my own packages which are under development, and I was concerned something was funny in my own ,  so I have a fork of the package rerddap,  and I tested goodpractice on that.  I get the error:

Looking at the code,  that error is being thrown by the function withr::set_makevars().  We are now too many layers deep into packages for me to follow what is going on,  but the kicker is Scott Chamberlain can run it without any errors on the same package.  Session_info for both of us follows.  If any one has any suggestions both as to what is causing this and a possible solution,  would appreciate it.
