Not able to install local package after updating dependencies

[llrs]

I'm working in a package and I'm finding problems when installing locally and updating CRAN packages:

devtools::install()
## These packages have more recent versions available.
## It is recommended to update all of them.
## Which would you like to update?
## 
## 1: All                            
## 2: CRAN packages only             
## 3: None                           
## 4: openssl (2.0.6 -> 2.1.0) [CRAN]
## 
## Enter one or more numbers, or an empty line to skip updates: 2
## openssl (2.0.6 -> 2.1.0) [CRAN]
## ...

## Error in "INSTALL_opts" %in% names(args) && grepl("--no-test-load", args$INSTALL_opts,  : 
##   'length = 2' in coercion to 'logical(1)'

After this I can install the package correctly with another call to devtools::install(). I'm using '1.4.0' and after this error message I updated to 1.4.2, so I don't know if this will surface again or might be related to a point in the 1.4.1 "pkgbuild now always appends its extra compiler flags to the ones that already exist in the system and/or user Makevars files (#156).".

I'm sorry for not providing a reproducible example or traceback() (I didn't think about reporting it immediately after the error occurred).

Why do you think this is an error in pkgbuild?

[llrs]

I initially wanted to report to devtools but then I realized it is not the right place to report this. After a cursory look at the internals of devtools::install I thought that pkgbuild was a better bet as I was trying to build my own package (I didn't check were that piece of code might come from and I didn't have a traceback). Apologies for reporting it incorrectly. If I report other bugs I'll be more careful.

Many thanks for fixing it. I appreciate a lot what you do.
