The package causing the problem is apparently numbers. My best guess as to why is because numbers was built under an older version of R (as is indicated by the warning message I get when I library(numbers) in R).
But I'm pretty new to Travis CI and R packages in general, so I could be missing something.
I'm confused not only because the R pacakge numbers is available to me (OSX), but also because my package passes the devtools::check(). My package passed on Travis previously (when it only depended on ssh.utils), so I'm pretty sure the problem is somehow related to numbers.
Is this Travis error message related to the way I've asked Travis to install a package? Is there a setting I can change in my Travis yml to allow the build to pass? Any help would be appreciated.
