An unrelated, documented, yet unfixed bug in 'cli' affecting packages using it.

You need to define (in .Renviron, or via bash for your login, or system wide)
the variable VTE_VERSION with any value, for example '1' will do.

E.g. I call roxygen on the shell via 'roxy.r' from littler and my command
history has a few

   VTE_VERSION=1 roxy.r

It also bit me in 'rhub' and other packages communicating via 'cli'.
