install_deps() fails to install all dependencies on Windows

[krlmlr]

Situation: tibble suggests knitr, knitr imports highr; the latter doesn't get installed. This is on a Windows machine from a tibble checkout:

> remove.packages("knitr")
Removing package from ‘C:/Program Files/R/R-3.3.0patched/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
> remove.packages("highr")
Removing package from ‘C:/Program Files/R/R-3.3.0patched/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
> devtools::install_deps(dependencies = c("Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo", "Suggests"))

The downloaded binary packages are in

But install.packages() works:

Removing package from ‘C:/Program Files/R/R-3.3.0patched/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
> install.packages("knitr")
also installing the dependency ‘highr’

Works flawlessly on Ubuntu. Looks like this is a devtools problem, because install.packages() correctly installs highr.

UPDATE: See the corresponding AppVeyor build.

This should be fixed after 5cd2d80, let me know if this is not the case.

Thanks. I think everything's fine now.
