geniusr and geniusR package conflict

[TinasheMTapera]

After installing both JosiahParry's geniusR:

devtools::install_github("josiahparry/geniusR") library(geniusR)

and ewenme's geniusr in one session:

install.packages("geniusr") library(geniusr)

R seems to only keep one of the two in my packages library /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/library, usually geniusr. I noticed this because functions from geniusr seemed to work fine, but gives this error with geniusR::genius_album():

Error in mutate_impl(.data, dots) : Evaluation error: lazy-load database '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/library/geniusR/R/geniusR.rdb' is corrupt.

This is confirmed when I check the directory, when I restart the session, reinstall packages, even when I reinstall R and RStudio. Somehow, geniusr seems to be greedily removing geniusR's directory from the /library directory. Such an unexpected corner case but it was going to come up I'm afraid.

Addendum: whichever package is installed last is the one that persists
