Indeed it does, since the directory is owned by
root:root .
Probably, it should be owned by root:staff .

Same as the last (incorrect) bug report: This is Unix, and it expects you to
understand the difference and act accordingly:
-- run R as root if you want to install packages, or
-- have root give 775 rights to the directory and add yourself yo the group.
Not a bug either.
