[R-pkg-devel] Check Flavor r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-clang charset

[Gábor Csárdi]

R-hub has a debian-clang-devel platform now, with the same ISO-8859-15
locale, so you can easily reproduce this with

rhub::check(<package-file>, platform = "debian-clang-devel")

To fix it, it is probably better to reproduce it locally, either via

rhub::local_check_linux(<package-file>, image = "rhub/debian-clang-devel")

and then re-using the container, or you can directly get the
rhub/debian-clang-devel Docker image.
