'me to' for several Bioconductor packages during R CMD build, e.g., http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/BEclear/celaya2-install.html presumably this is causing havoc for CRAN as well...

from bibtex.

Also worth noting that the CRAN checks for bibtex 0.4.2.1 also show a segfault for read.bib() on OS X but surprisingly that didn't stop bibtex 0.4.2.1 from being published:

Seems unrelated to the compiler used, also crashes for me when using gcc.

Edit: As a workaround, installing the "dev" version (which is not actually dev because it still is at v0.4.2) solves the "upgrading" issue when using ´remotes::update_packages()`.

I.e. remotes::install_github("romainfrancois/bibtex") and the package will stay at v0.4.2 when you are calling remotes::update_packages().

A new version (0.4.2.2) of 'bibtex' was just released on CRAN. I tested my example from above again and now it works, thus thanks to @romainfrancois for the fix!
