Do you mean that it does not work locally on my computer, but only in the cloud?
Thanks for the collaboration

I think he meant

   install.packages("regtools", repo = "https://cloud.r-project.org")

which works for me (but I'm not on Catalina, I'm still on High Sierra).

Thanks for the clarification. I did it, but with the same result
Installing package into ?/Users/blapo_nuovo/Library/R/3.6/library?

Cave Catalina!  Me too have no problem with el-captain.

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.

Something else changed on your system as Catalina does no domain/IP/URL blocking without user-intervention and those repo URLs work fine on all my (many) Catalina systems.

What else changed after you did the Catalina install?

There's a great deal wrong with Catalina, this is not one of those things.

Ok, I surrend!

Waiting for necessary patches by Apple, for the moment I?m comfortably running R on a Windows system.

Thanks for all.

Bruno, I doubt Apple is going to patch anything because the problem seems to be either on your computer or on your network. 

It smells to me that for example your host file, or something else, has been modified, or something in your network has also change that is blocking your access to that repository for some reason. 

I'm also on Catalina and as the rest I can access that repo on the browser, or any other, without a trouble. 

Anyhow, if you really think that the problem is on Apple side, you should contact them if you really expect them to produce any fix. 

Best of the lucks! 

Cheers!

Maybe, dear Luis.

The antivirus kaspersky blocks the direct connection to the cloud repo. Removed antivirus -> install.packages() works.

Thanks for all
