I think R from EPEL 8 is missing a dependency on glibc-langpack-en or
similar. Testing with the new CentOS 8 docker image:
docker run -it centos:8 bash
And then in docker:
yum install epel-release
yum config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
yum install R-devel
Installation succeeds but when I start R:
During startup - Warning messages:
1: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C"
2: Setting LC_COLLATE failed, using "C"
3: Setting LC_TIME failed, using "C"
4: Setting LC_MESSAGES failed, using "C"
5: Setting LC_MONETARY failed, using "C"
6: Setting LC_PAPER failed, using "C"
7: Setting LC_MEASUREMENT failed, using "C"
Installing glibc-langpack-en fixes the problem. Took me a while to
figure this out; I am guessing a lot of users will run into this.
