glitch in R home folder

[jennan]

After running install.packages("rmarkdown") in rstudio, I obtain a weird folder with a colon in its name in ~/R

$ ls ~/R/gimkl-2022a/
4.2  4.2:
$ find ~/R/gimkl-2022a/4.2\:/
/home/riom/R/gimkl-2022a/4.2:/
/home/riom/R/gimkl-2022a/4.2:/opt
/home/riom/R/gimkl-2022a/4.2:/opt/nesi
/home/riom/R/gimkl-2022a/4.2:/opt/nesi/CS400_centos7_bdw
/home/riom/R/gimkl-2022a/4.2:/opt/nesi/CS400_centos7_bdw/R
/home/riom/R/gimkl-2022a/4.2:/opt/nesi/CS400_centos7_bdw/R/4.2.1-gimkl-2022a
/home/riom/R/gimkl-2022a/4.2:/opt/nesi/CS400_centos7_bdw/R/4.2.1-gimkl-2022a/lib64
/home/riom/R/gimkl-2022a/4.2:/opt/nesi/CS400_centos7_bdw/R/4.2.1-gimkl-2022a/lib64/R
/home/riom/R/gimkl-2022a/4.2:/opt/nesi/CS400_centos7_bdw/R/4.2.1-gimkl-2022a/lib64/R/library

I suspect the path to generate this spurious path... and this probably happen with any installation.

Note: my prelude.bash to reproduce the error

 $ cat ~/.config/rstudio_on_nesi/prelude.bash
module load R/4.2.1-gimkl-2022a
