Aihe: Re: [Rd] Possible bug in package installation when R_ICU_LOCALE is set
I can reproduce this on Linux, so it is not Windows-specific.

On a Windows computer (other platforms not tested), installing a
package from source may fail if the environment variable R_ICU_LOCALE
is set, depending on the package and the locale.
For example, after setting R_ICU_LOCALE to "fi_FI",
install.packages("seriation", type = "source")
(package version 1.2-3) fails with the following error:
** preparing package for lazy loading
Error in set_criterion_method("dist", "AR_events", criterion_ar_events, :
could not find function "set_criterion_method"
Error : unable to load R code in package 'seriation'
Package "Epi" (version 2.24) fails similarly:
** preparing package for lazy loading
Error in eval(exprs[i], envir) : object 'Relevel.default' not found
Error : unable to load R code in package 'Epi'
Whether R_ICU_LOCALE is set before R is launched or during the session
doesn't matter: installation of these two example packages fails
either way. If R_ICU_LOCALE is unset, calling
icuSetCollate(locale = "fi_FI")
is harmless. Browsing through the R manuals, I did not find warnings
against using R_ICU_LOCALE, or any indication why package installation
should fail with the variable being set. About the collation order of
R code files, "Writing R Extensions" says:
The default is to collate according to the 'C' locale.
I interpret this (and the surrounding text) as a "promise" to package
developers that no matter what the end user does, the developer should
be able to rely on the collation order being 'C' unless the developer
defines another order.
