R Base Package Testing Base Fail R 4.2.2

[ahill]

R 4.2.2 Installed through RPM file on image of RHEL Podman Container
Hey gang, I have been trying to run base testing using tools::testInstalledPackages(scope="base) but the failures keep happening in the base package. I know I can run with errorsAreFatal = FALSE, to prevent the error from stopping the run but I would like to try to resolve it. I made the tests in an R 4.2.2 source and moved the tests to their respective package directories. Is there something I am missing? Why won't encodings pass?
I ran:

Sys.setenv(LC_COLLATE = "C", LC_TIME = "C", LANGUAGE = "en")
tools::testInstalledPackages(scope="base")

The error appears in "encodings.R" :
