Package: r-base-core
Version: 4.2.2.20221110-1
Tags: patch
`r-base-core.postinst` uses Perl to set `$papersize` as a default
fallback in `Renviron`.
Such simple processing can be achieved also with a very similar `sed`
invocation.
Using sed instead of Perl reduces the number of packages required to
install r-core-base. (Perl is a candidate for removal from essential,
see https://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/EssentialOnDiet.)
A patch to fix this issue can be found at
