[R-SIG-Mac] rlang and the new R version 4.1.0

[Kevin Ushey]

This error:

    Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rlang’ in
    get(Info[i, 1], envir = env): lazy-load database
    '/Users/hwb/Library/R/4.0/library/rlang/R/rlang.rdb' is corrupt
    In addition: Warning message:
    In get(Info[i, 1], envir = env) : internal error -3 in R_decompress1

is commonly seen when reinstalling an already-installed package. See
https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16644 for more
details.

The resolution is to restart R after reinstalling an already-loaded package.

Best,
Kevin
