  This is all a little bit surprising since tizkDevice seems
perfectly fine on CRAN: 
https://cran.rstudio.com/web/packages/tikzDevice/index.html

  What are getOption("repos") and sessionInfo() ?
  Perhaps there is some temporary binary-building delay because
R 3.2.3 just came out?

   Did you try install.packages("tikzDevice", type="source") ?
