Proposed changes
Staged installation is to be a new feature of R 3.6.0: it is not yet the default in R-devel but it is scheduled to become so on Mar 1. To turn it on before then, set environment variable R_INSTALL_STAGED=true : this has been done for the fedora-clang results on CRAN.
Please adjust your package to work with staged installation, if possible before Mar 1. A stopgap measure is to opt out by adding
StagedInstall: no
in the DESCRIPTION file, and the CRAN team will do that for any remaining packages on which others depend (currently EmiStatR ProjectTemplate Rblpapi gWidgets2 nimble rfishbase) when the default is switched.
with R 3.6, staged install is the default hardcoded config paths are changed to functions see https://developer.r-project.org/Blog/public/2019/02/14/staged-install/index.html

Tomas Kalibera has written a blog about this which can be seen at https://developer.r-project.org/Blog/public/2019/02/14/staged-install/index.html . For most of these packages he has some analysis of the issues at https://github.com/kalibera/rstagedinst/tree/master/hardcoded and is happy to help with interpretation (he is Cc:ed here).
