packrat seems to be using wrong dependency order.

[kozmaz87]

Installing source version of the foreach 1.5.2 package seems to not install iterators first... according to the package metadata the dependency is declared on iterators and it is indeed in the list of packages packrat is preparing to install but it tries to compile foreach first.... not sure what is happening there....

And after compiling many many packages successfully 35 mins down the line this happens seemingly in order of dependency this happens:

The command failed with output:
* installing *source* package 'foreach' ...
** package 'foreach' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** using staged installation
** R
** inst
** tests
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) : 
  there is no package called 'iterators'
Calls: <Anonymous> ... loadNamespace -> withRestarts -> withOneRestart -> doWithOneRestart
Execution halted

iterators did not precede compilation of foreach and I can't figure out why.. can anyone reproduce this?

This is the basic code I am using to trigger this error:

I am unable to recreate this situation.

1. Created a new RStudio R project.
2. Add the list of libraries into a load.R file.
3. From the R session, call packrat::init().

Unfortunately, without knowing the versions of each package, it will be challenging to reproduce -- my testing used the current CRAN package versions.

Please reopen this issue if you are able to create a reproducible example.

Additionally, we recommend that folks use renv rather than packrat for new projects. https://rstudio.github.io/renv/
