package dependencies seemingly are not rebuilt against appropriate version of package being tested

[kevinushey]

I'm trying to run a revdepcheck for RcppParallel, and I'm seeing some failures during check like the following. For example (the following was part of the check failure for the alien package)

  When sourcing ‘native_discoveries.R’:
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rstan’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/Users/kevin/r/pkg/RcppParallel/revdep/library.noindex/alien/rstan/libs/rstan.so':
  dlopen(/Users/kevin/r/pkg/RcppParallel/revdep/library.noindex/alien/rstan/libs/rstan.so, 0x0006): symbol not found in flat namespace '__ZN3tbb8internal26task_scheduler_observer_v37observeEb'
Execution halted

The error here would seem to imply that the version of rstan being used here was built against the old version of RcppParallel, not the current / dev version. Compare e.g.

> install.packages("RcppParallel")

000000000001be80 T __ZN3tbb8internal26task_scheduler_observer_v37observeEb

But, using the development version of RcppParallel:

> tbb <- system.file("lib/libtbb.dylib", package = "RcppParallel")
> system(paste("nm", tbb, "| grep task_scheduler_observer"))
0000000000011ec0 T __ZN3tbb6detail2r17observeERNS0_2d123task_scheduler_observerEb

That is, the symbols in RcppParallel's bundled tbb library have moved around, and so packages which use TBB through RcppParallel would need to be rebuilt.

I see the same issue if I install a binary of rstan and try to load it, e.g.

> install.packages("rstan", type = "binary")

But if I rebuild from sources, then all is fine. My intention is to ask CRAN to rebuild all of RcppParallel's downstream dependencies when I submit the next version to CRAN.

tl;dr: How do I force revdepcheck to install all package dependencies from sources here, so that packages are rebuilt against the appropriate version of RcppParallel?
