Error in readRDS(file) : error reading from the connection

I met this error when I was installing the package "stringr". It is one of the dependencies if you want to install "ggplot2" package. I have this problem probably because my computer was interrupted when I was installing "ggplot2" package. But that's just a guess.

Right after the error, it prompts : "TRY removing /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/00LOCK-stringi/". So I just sudo went to that directory and rm -rf 00LOCK-stringi.

I solved the problem this way. But there are a popular ref online:

Try it if my solution doesn't work for you,
