Try `BinDeps.debug`. We could add a few more `info` outputs in various places.

Could you use conda.jl to install R?

I think Pkg.build will succeed if it already finds the library there. Maybe deleting the deps/usr will force the whole set of steps to re-run?

Nah, only if it's a reddit reference

did you see a ``` INFO: Downloading: libwinpthread1 INFO: Extracting: libwinpthread1 ``` at all?

source build of julia or did you install from a nightly binary?

nightly binaries should have a bundled zlib. for a source build you need to do `make win-extras binary-dist` and use that installer for packages like this one to work

That really should have had a deprecation warning instead of being a hard break, but there's a new name for that variable that is probably available in Compat by now

``` julia> UInt32(2148270094) 0x800c000e julia> reinterpret(Int32,UInt32(2148270094)) -2146697202 ``` https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms695782(v=vs.85).aspx ``` -2146697202 0x800C000E Server security access failure.* There was a security problem when accessing the server. ```

might be an https certificate issue or something, can you read the url from a browser?
