Close. This should check the .tar.gz produced by the preceding command:
R CMD check packageName_a.b.c.tar.gz # where a.b.c is current version
| R CMD INSTALL --build packageName
Not sure you need --build; it creates a binary for redistribution but only
for system that match your system closely. I would recommend
R CMD INSTALL packageName_a.b.c.tar.gz
instead.

I would think it has to do with your package sources, and a possible change
in R 3.6.0. Checks get better over time so it may set off a flag for
something that passed before.
But we can't really tell without access to your code.
