When installing an R package from source on Fedora using the standard

Error in file.copy(file.path(R.home("doc"), "html", "R.css"), outman) :
(converted from warning) problem copying /usr/share/doc/R/html/R.css
to /usr/lib64/R/library/00LOCK-systemfonts/00new/systemfonts/html/R.css:
No such file or directory
But when I try to install the missing file, yum says it is already installed:
yum install /usr/share/doc/R/html/R.css
## Package R-core-4.0.3-1.fc32.x86_64 is already installed.
However it does not actually exist. Perhaps the rpm could make a copy
or symlink from /usr/lib64/R/library/base/html/R.css
I assume you are doing this in a docker image. That file is not installed because our base images have "tsflags=nodocs" set in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf. Unset this before installing R-core, or, even better, install packages with --no-docs.
