r - Why am I getting the "'...' is not empty" error mostly when using pipe and basic functions?

Question

I am very new to R but seem to be getting this error more and more frequently, especially when using the pipe operator:

"Error: ... is not empty. We detected these problematic arguments:

• logical

These dots only exist to allow future extensions and should be empty.
Did you misspecify an argument?"

I even get it on simple functions like select as in:

HM_74_Duplicates_test <- HM_74_Duplicates %>%
  select(State)

HM_74_Duplicates is loaded as a data.frame, tidyverse is in library.

What am I doing wrong?

    HM74_1 <- read.csv("/Users/spencepurnell/Downloads/hm74_r - Base_Sheet.csv")

HM74_1 <- as.data.frame(HM74_1)

#Convert Appropriate Metrics to Numeric
HM74_1$Total.Interstate <- as.numeric(gsub(",","", HM74_1$Total.Interstate))
HM74_1$Total.OFE <- as.numeric(gsub(",","", HM74_1$Total.OFE))
HM74_1$Total.OPA <- as.numeric(gsub(",","", HM74_1$Total.OPA))
HM74_1$Total.Arterial..Minor. <- as.numeric(gsub(",","", HM74_1$Total.Arterial..Minor.))

#Creates new True/False column for duplicate variables where TRUE = DUPLICATE 
HM74_1 <- HM74_1 %>% 
  group_by(Federal.Area) %>%
  mutate(duplicate.flag = n() > 1) %>% 
  ungroup()  

#Creates df of duplicates using new TRUE/FAlSE column
HM_74_Duplicates <- HM74_1 %>%
  filter(duplicate.flag == TRUE) 

#Duplicates as data.frame
HM_74_Duplicates <- as.data.frame(HM_74_Duplicates)

#Select State
HM_74_Duplicates_Test <- HM_74_Duplicates %>%
  select(State)

#dput
dput(HM_74_Duplicates)

Here is the output from dput:

Answer 1

From rlang::last_trace() You can see the error is in line 27 in the package vctrs

   These dots only exist to allow future extensions and should be empty.
Did you misspecify an argument?

Tidyverse was installing a version of vctrs 0.2.99.99011 - a version I could not find anywhere on the web. What is causing this?

The solution is simply to manually install vctrs before tidyverse

install.packages("vctrs") library(vctrs)
