R CMD build "cannot open compressed file" with R 3.6.2

Hello, All:


 ????? I just upgraded to R 3.6.2 and suddenly got, "cannot open 
compressed file" with "R CMD build" of a package that I built yesterday 
with R 3.6.1, and I don't recall having gotten an error message with 3.6.1.


 ????? What do you suggest I do to get around this?
 ????? Thanks,
 ????? Spencer Graves

"Permission denied" suggests that this is not related to R. Perhaps you ran R with elevated permissions yesterday?
