Description

The DESCRIPTION file lists -

 Imports:
   assertthat,
   bit64,
   ...

However for us (R3.4 over linux, with various old package versions installed) the installation fails. The error message is

Error : object 'str.integer64' is not exported by 'namespace:bit64'
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'arrow'

 We believe that 'bit64' in the Imports section should have been 'bit64 (>= 0.9-7)', as previous versions of bit64 do not export 'str.integer64'.
