  • You can change the CRAN server or download it direct from http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.3/lubridate_1.6.0.zip and install it as zip in RStudio. – J_F Mar 15 '17 at 10:46

    Check in `.../R/win-library/3.3/` for `lubridate` (remove or move out of the way if present) and/or any directories starting with `0` (temporary dirs during installation process). – r2evans Mar 15 '17 at 13:23
