devtools::release() error - Space required after the Public Identifier

I'm trying to upload some updates to an R package I have on CRAN. I've used devtools so far and without problems (thanks Hadley, you make our lives so much easier!) but upon calling devtools::release(), I get the following:

> devtools::release()
Space required after the Public Identifier
SystemLiteral " or ' expected
SYSTEM or PUBLIC, the URI is missing
Error: 1: Space required after the Public Identifier
2: SystemLiteral " or ' expected
3: SYSTEM or PUBLIC, the URI is missing

I wish I could provide a more reproducible issue, but has anyone run into this before?

Figured it out by digging into the devtools code. The error occurred within the devtools::dr_devtools() step, in which the good doctor calls rversions::r_release(). Reinstalling the rversions package did the trick.
