Comment (by fbissey):
I think we need to be more careful there. #17572 is caused by interference
with another `R` install on the system. Whether there is breakage or not
that is a problem. You don't usually see it on non-apple because your
system variable and sage variables are likely to be similar. But it also
means that you will share the installed package between your `R` install
outside of sage and the one installed in sage.
That is not sane.
I think we would be better served by defining `R_HOME` in the sage
environment rather than bluntly unseting it. I unfortunately do not keep
crap in `/usr/local` on my apple machine (I know better, and so should a
lot of people) so meaningful testing is hard for me.
