If you haven't done that already, you can try with the latest
R-devel/R-patched. A similar issue has been reported earlier for
virtualized environments where the move operation was not working
properly, so R now falls back to copying.
But please be aware that R is currently not being tested/supported on
WSL, you would likely run into more problems, it is not the same as
running natively on Debian.

Apologies if this is the incorrect place for this question. New
Debian user here (via WSL on Windows). I've been installing packages
(using install.packages) in to /usr/local/lin/R/site-library without
problem until I tried to install xml2. When installing it gives the
error message:
mv: cannot move '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/00LOCK-xml2/00new/xml2'
to '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/xml2': Permission denied
I've added myself to the staff group and other packages have installed
without issue. For information I'm running Debian Buster.
Any pointers / suggestions as to where I'm going wrong?
