this only only some of the time, not every time, right? I am aware this
pops up on Windows, sometimes (only when starting), and I recently had
an idea what might be causing it.

So this is a good opportunity to test my theory: I hope you will not
see that message again, with tomorrow's build (otherwise, please let me
know).

The builds started using R 4.2.0 (instead of R 4.1.2), yesterday, and so
it is an expected side-effect, that you will be prompted to install any
add-ons, again, when they are needed.

This is a bug on our end, indeed (we still need to set up a repository
for R 4.2), but the warning is harmless in itself.

Yes, thanks for reporting.
