r - Error with loading tidyverse: package or namspace load failed

Question

I just downloaded R (version 4.0.3) and RStudio (1.3.1093). The packages seem to be installed okay but when I try to load tidyverse, the following error messege appears:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in namespaceExport(ns, exports):
undefined exports: check_dots_empty, check_dots_unnamed, check_dots_used, safe_median
In addition: Warning message:
S3 method ‘safe_median.numeric’ was declared in NAMESPACE but not found

I recently downloaded R and RStudio (the same versions) on another computer and it was okay. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling R and RStudio, removing the packages and installing them again. Furthermore, I've gone through the numerous stackoverflow posts on similar problems but nothing has worked.

I'd be incredibly grateful for a solution to this problem!

Answer 1

These functions are all from the ellipsis package. It is possible that all of the tidyverse packages installed properly, but that there is something wrong with the install of the ellipsis package. Try installing the ellipsis package, and then the tidyverse.
