> Fedora 36 includes both a 'libarrow' and a 'libarrow-dataset' package under pkg-config names 'arrow' and 'arrow-dataset', respectively. When we do {{install.packages("arrow")}} on Fedora 36, the pkg-config for 'arrow' gets picked up first, and we get a minimal arrow install. Installing with {{NOT_CRAN=true ARROW_USE_PKG_CONFIG=false}} results in a full compiled installation because binaries are not available for fedora-36 (according to the install output).
> Reported by Roger Bivand (while testing GDAL + Arrow support since Fedora 36 is the easiest place to do that due to system Arrow): https://github.com/paleolimbot/narrow/issues/7
> Reproducble using the {{fedora:36}} docker container:
> {code:bash}
> # docker run --rm -it fedora:36
> dnf install -y R libarrow-dataset-devel cmake
> R -e 'install.packages("arrow", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")'
> R -e 'arrow::arrow_info()$capabilities'
> {code}
