Arch ships R 4.6.1, but JASP pins its R packages against a frozen CRAN
snapshot (2026-03-31 for 0.98.1) that targets R 4.5. Configuring against
Arch's R fails at Rcpp 1.1.1, which cannot compile on R 4.6 since
R_NamespaceRegistry was removed; the Rcpp release that fixes it is newer
than the pinned snapshot, so the lockfile cannot reach it either.
Build R 4.5.3 into /opt/jasp-desktop/R and point R_HOME at it, matching
what upstream CI does. This drops 'r' from depends entirely, so an Arch R
upgrade can no longer break an installed JASP, and the rebuild triggers
become Qt6 and ICU - the libraries actually still linked against.
