[R-pkg-devel] 'rlang' win-builder error for package without rlang dependency

[Carrie Tribble]

Hi Konrad,

This happened to me too on Thursday. I tried retesting on Friday and ran
into the same problem with a different function (vctrs instead of rlang).
But Friday night when I retested, the problem had resolved itself. Curious
to hear what could have happened, but I'd also suggest retesting now if if
you haven't tried again since.

Cheers,
Carrie
