I won't be much help here, but I will note that the rcompanion package passes all its checks. The package itself is pretty simple, but it does install a bunch of other packages. It looks like the error is stemming from the mixOmics package that RVAideMemoire imports, which is imported by rcompanion. I don't have much to suggest other than the usual: restart R and RStudio, uninstall and reinstall the packages. Try to install mixOmics directly first. Then RVAideMemoire. Then rcompanion. If not, contact package authors. – Sal Mangiafico
The rcompanion has since been modified so that it does not import the RVAideMemoire package, since apparently it was causing some installation problems for some. – Sal Mangiafico

Rcompanion relies on missing packages. I solved installing r-cran-rgl with

sudo apt install r-cran-rgl

and then install again rcompanion.
