Hi,
Sorry to keep being a pain. I wasn't sure whether this would be of use to anyone or not.
I stared getting these errors:
```No DESCRIPTION file at path '/Users/josephflanagan/Downloads/jflanaga-d2-e-proceedings-b2d513092cca/packrat/lib/x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0/3.2.4/lazyeval/DESCRIPTION'!```
I've figured out what I need to do to fix it. First, I have to close the project and then reopen. Then, I install whatever package I get this error for (on this machine, it is pretty consistently `lazyeval` and `dplyr`. Then packrat::restore() works fine (the packages I added get ignored).
I noticed that versions of `dplyr` and `lazyeval` I have in the packrat library are the github versions (as is the packrat version). So I downgraded them to CRAN, deleted the packrat/lib directories, and opened up the project. Sure enough, everything went smoothly, except for the fact that the automatic restarted didn't boot me into the Packrat library, so I had to close the project and open it again. (and downgrading Packrat to CRAN version didn't solve that problem, but closing and opening a project isn't that big a deal).
As I said, I'm not sure if it is just my own user-error as I try to figure out how packrat works, but I thought I would report it.
