install_github fails, circular dependency?

dplyr declares hadley/dtplyr in Remotes: and vice versa, which appears to lead to a continual stream of this:

devtools::install_github("hadley/dplyr")
Downloading GitHub repo hadley/dplyr@master
from URL https://api.github.com/repos/hadley/dplyr/zipball/master
Installing dplyr

This should be resolved with the development version of devtools -- try re-installing the latest version of devtools and then installing dplyr.

[cboettig]

Perfect, thanks!

This fix appears only to work when devtools is loaded.

[kevinushey]

Sorry; yes, you'll need to restart your R session after re-installing devtools (to ensure the newly downloaded package gets loaded).

@hadley Everyday there's someone reporting this, maybe it's a good idea to update the front page Readme.md?

if (packageVersion("devtools") < 1.6) {
  devtools::install_github("hadley/devtools")
}

Then restart R session

devtools::install_github("hadley/lazyeval")
devtools::install_github("hadley/dplyr")

@tungmilan the check for devtools < 1.6 should be tweaked or omitted since I was still having the problem with v1.11.1. Reinstalling the development version of devtools did solve the problem though. Thanks.
