[R-SIG-Mac] damned Catalina

Hmm, my best guess is that file downloads are failing somehow. It's not like, e.g.,

https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6/PACKAGES.gz

is not on the website. 

Time to get scientific: Try putting a debug(download.file) and/or debug(available.packages), retry the install (or maybe just do available.packages(repos=....)), and single-step through the call to see where it goes wrong. One possibility is that you don't have write permission for the directory that it wants to download into, so figure out what the exact target is.
