I'm observing that the new staged installation in R 3.6.0 can produce:
mv: cannot move
‘/home/alice/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/00LOCK-codetools/00new/codetools’
to ‘/home/alice/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/codetools’: File

ERROR: moving to final location failed

Warning message:

installation of package ‘codetools’ had non-zero exit status
# WORKAROUND
Disabling staged installation, for instance by setting environment
variable 'R_INSTALL_STAGED=false' avoids this problem.
# TROUBLESHOOTING
I think it comes down to the following call in src/library/tools/R/install.R:
status <- system(paste("mv -f",
shQuote(instdir),
shQuote(dirname(final_instdir))))
https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/d253331f578814f919f150ffdf1fe581618079a3/src/library/tools/R/install.R#L1645-L1647
which effectively does:
$ mkdir -p path/pkg ## empty final destination placeholder(?)
$ mkdir -p path/to/pkg
$ mv -f path/to/pkg path
However, on one (and only one) of several systems I've tested, that
'mv' produce the error:
mv: cannot move ‘path/to/pkg’ to ‘path/pkg’: File exists
This is on a BeeGFS parallel file system. I cannot tell if that 'mv
-f' should work or not, or if it is even well defined. FWIW, the
above 'mv' does indeed work if I switch to another folder that is
mounted on a different, NFS, file system, i.e. it is not kernel/OS
specific (here CentOS 7.6.1810).
If of any use, here's the 'strace' of the above 'mv':
