I've been using liftover for years, but I've never encountered this error. Is there something wrong with my chain? I downloaded my chain from https://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenpath/hg19/liftOver/

You could also try using one of the chain files in AnnotationHub, which gets auto-cached:

library(AnnotationHub)
query(ah <- AnnotationHub(), "hg19ToHg38")

You have to uncompress first:

> system("gzip -d hg19ToHg38.over.chain.gz")

> import.chain("hg19ToHg38.over.chain.gz")
Error in .local(con, format, text, ...) :

## success!
