By some googling I can find people seeing similar issue, such as [1]. The root cause seems to point to a GCC bug [2], which is claimed to be fixed in 8.0.

I think I do have some workaround in mind. But I want to check first if we are able to upgrade GCC to 8.0 for this particular CI job?

Thanks.

@assignUser Is R 4.1 still maintained? (Can we remove test-r-rstudio-r-base-4.1-opensuse155?)

[assignUser]

@kou yes we support the last 4 versions so 4.1 to 4.4

[kou]

OK.

@zanmato1984 Could you try a workaround for the platform?

[assignUser]

Though I am not sure if the opensuse job is really important, it's not an official flavour and tbh I don't think there is a huge R demographic on it... @jonkeane what do you think?

[zanmato1984]

I filed PR #44116 to workaround it anyway.

[jonkeane]

I see we already have a PR for that, which is good, but for some added context on why that's good

Though I am not sure if the opensuse job is really important, it's not an official flavour and tbh I don't think there is a huge R demographic on it... @jonkeane what do you think?

It would be good to maintain the matrix of support if we can, I don't know of any other exception to our matrix (i.e. "this works on these versions of R and these OSes, except this version of R + OS combo"), so adding one shouldn't be taken lightly. Additionally + possibly more importantly opensuse is one of the Posit Public Package Manager platforms, so they build there.
