Got the same error. Installing the old Version of tidyverse helped as a work a raound: install.packages("cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/tidyverse/…", repos = NULL, type = "source") – Wolfgang

I found that upgrading RStudio to version 1.1.383 resolved the problem for me, while still running the latest version of tidyverse.

I had the same issue, and wolfgang's answer solved it. I used the following code to install tidyverse version 1.1.1 from 2017-01-27:

    require(devtools)
    install_version("tidyverse", version = "1.1.1", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")

I was having exactly the same problem. Updating RStudio to the latest version (v. 1.1.383) as @bart suggested worked perfectly for me and solved the issue.

For those working in Ubuntu (16.04), you can update RStudio by

wget --tries=3 --timeout=120 https://download1.rstudio.org/rstudio-xenial-1.1.383-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i rstudio-*-amd64.deb
