[R-pkg-devel] Getting error: Installation failed: Unknown username with my package

[Gábor Csárdi]

Hi Mark,

seems like you have "Remotes: covr" in the DESCRIPTION file, which is
not a valid remote specification:
https://github.com/rmsharp/nprcmanager/blob/f93e4e8056a8602654a94fc8685d9ed722c74db1/DESCRIPTION#L31-L32

If you need the CRAN version of covr, remove the Remotes entry. If you
need the GH version, use r-lib/covr
