From 62693170aee3bea2dfec272e51bf3bc4d1297a53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Weston Pace Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2024 08:05:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] GH-41145: [R][CI] test-r-dev-duckdb fails installing duckdb (#41152) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ### Rationale for this change An error is received installing R duckdb: ``` #15 18.13 > remotes::install_github('duckdb/duckdb-r', build = FALSE) #15 18.27 Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from **GitHub:** #15 18.27 Line starting 'Roxyg ...' is malformed! ``` Some searching seems to suggest that this is because R cannot process UTF-8 characters in DESCRIPTION files if the `LANG` is set to `C`. ### What changes are included in this PR? The `LANG` is set to `C.UTF-8` in the dockerfile for this CI job ### Are these changes tested? The change only affects a test ### Are there any user-facing changes?
