[R-sig-Debian] Where/how to set R_LIBS_SITE in R 4.2.0 for running R as R --vanilla to pick up "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/"

[Sam H]

Dirk, thanks.

Changing /etc/R/Renviron by adding
*R_LIBS_SITE="/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/:${R_LIBS_SITE}:/usr/lib/R/library"*
after *R_LIBS_SITE=${R_LIBS_SITE:-'%S'}* seems to solve my problem. So my
/etc/R/Renviron in specified place now looks like this
R_LIBS_USER=${R_LIBS_USER:-'%U'}
R_LIBS_SITE=${R_LIBS_SITE:-'%S'}
R_LIBS_SITE="/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/:${R_LIBS_SITE}:/usr/lib/R/library"
