library(vetiver) Overwrites .libPaths().

[z02dpj]

When used in conjunction with renv@0.15.5, the path to the System Library is overwritten when library(vetiver) is loaded. The System Library path is overwritten with the path to the renv sandbox.

If this is no longer an issue with more recent versions of renv, please let me know and I can test that. Our team has used renv@0.15.5 because the renv@1.0.0 launch was not as stable as we would have liked upon its release. We have not revisited the later versions since its launch.

I am not able to reproduce any changes to .libPaths() using the current CRAN version of renv (1.0.7):
