-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have created a PR: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/9797
This is the detail: 
_I have used the same setup that I used when I worked in finance, this is to call R --vanilla from the terminal, and use the global CRAN repository, so that this fix applies to Windows/Mac/Linux.

The changes made solve the following problems:
* Packages not installing because the default mirror is not found
* The lack of packages bit64 and tidyselect_

> Fix the following R command.
> {code:java}
> R -e 'install.packages(c("devtools", "roxygen2", "pkgdown", "covr")); devtools::install_dev_deps()'
> {code}
> Found in the following section of these docs: [https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/]
> {code:java}
> cd ../../r
> R -e 'install.packages(c("devtools", "roxygen2", "pkgdown", "covr")); devtools::install_dev_deps()'
> R CMD INSTALL .
> {code}
> Here are the errors I got:
> {code:java}
> Error in contrib.url(repos, type) :
>   trying to use CRAN without setting a mirror
> {code}
> So instead I did that from an R prompt (and picked a mirror). Which mostly worked, except for this error:
> {code:java}
> Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called 'devtools'
> ERROR: dependency ‘systemfonts’ is not available for package ‘textshaping’
> * removing ‘/usr/local/Cellar/r/4.0.4/lib/R/library/textshaping’
> ERROR: dependency ‘gert’ is not available for package ‘usethis’
> * removing ‘/usr/local/Cellar/r/4.0.4/lib/R/library/usethis’
> ERROR: dependencies ‘systemfonts’, ‘textshaping’ are not available for package ‘ragg’
> * removing ‘/usr/local/Cellar/r/4.0.4/lib/R/library/ragg’
> ERROR: dependency ‘usethis’ is not available for package ‘devtools’
> * removing ‘/usr/local/Cellar/r/4.0.4/lib/R/library/devtools’
> ERROR: dependency ‘ragg’ is not available for package ‘pkgdown’
> * removing ‘/usr/local/Cellar/r/4.0.4/lib/R/library/pkgdown’
> {code}
> Which I ignored and just tried "{{R CMD INSTALL .}}" again, but then I got this error:
> {code:java}
> ERROR: dependencies 'bit64', 'tidyselect' are not available for package 'arrow'
> {code}
> So then I also did this from an R prompt:
> {code:java}
> install.packages(c("bit64", "tidyselect"))
> {code}
