Pretty much exactly what I told you in person last week :) - idea is to prefer /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/ - multi-user more important than per-user Also see https://bugs.debian.org/866768 The transition may be too harsh though. I did not consider the possibility of /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/ *not* being writeable. So what I could do is to re-add the per-user directory as a fall-back after the preferred /usr/local/lib/R/site-library.
