looks different to what we had, before. Here, tar throws a lot of
errors about not being able to write files (probably fails to unpack
_anything_). After that it's not really a surprise that R refuses to
install the package.

So - this looks like a file system permission problem of some sort. Not
sure, where R is trying to untar these files, initially. In the most
simple case,

   lib="/Users/t_utes01/.rkward/library"

does not exist / is not writable. So please advise the researcher to
check that, first.

Not tested, yet, but likely to be the same issue breaking the feature
on Windows (uh, and if I see this correctly, I fixed that very shortly
after 0.6.5, but a fixed version was not yet released...).

Time to push out those unreleased bugfixes...

Regards
Thomas
