install_github() gives Error in read.dcf(path)

[Listen-Lii]

Hi，I use devtools::install_github() but got these errors:

devtools::install_github("coolbutuseless/threed")
Error in read.dcf(path) :
Found continuation line starting ' representation. ...' at begin of record.
devtools::install_github("coolbutuseless/ggthreed")
Error in read.dcf(path) :
Found continuation line starting ' R (>= 2.10.0) ...' at begin of record.

I searched a similiar probles: r-lib/devtools#1900.
I am on Windows, and R version is 3.5.0, devtools version is 2.0.1.

Hi Listen-Li,
I don't see this problem on OSX with R 3.5.1 - however I have made a slight change to the DESCRIPTION file. Try again?

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried again in my computer and another one, but this problem still exists.
It's OK to install others' packages on Github, but failed when install any packages under your folder.

Have you had any luck figuring this out? I had a similar problem that I fixed by rewriting my DESCRIPTION file, but without understanding what was wrong - so temporarily limiting the description: entry to a single line. The same problem comes up here, where I've entered an issue:
devtools::install_github(repo = "marcusvolz/mathart")
This happens even if I pick older commits, but the install works fine elsewhere.

I reinstalled and it's all right now. Maybe you should check R and devtools versions.
