[R-SIG-Mac] devtools problem on MacOS 10.14.6

[Tim Dickinson]

Hi--- I would like to install the new package lcvplants 
(https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-020-00702-z.pdf, 
https://idiv-biodiversity.github.io/lcvplants/articles/taxonomic_resolution_using_lcplants.html) 
and need to use devtools to do so.

I don't seem to be able to install devtools:
