We recently installed the newest rstudio 2023.06.0 on an ubuntu 22.04 workstation. We tend to use conda to manage our R versions that we want to use. With the previous 2022 version that we ran previously we have never had an issue but since this upgrade we have trouble getting rstudio to launch the correct R version.
We now have a system that has an r-base-core 4.3 installed via apt as well as an R 4.2.2 in a conda environment. The conda environment was simply created with conda install r-base=4.2.2
Now when we start rstudio without the conda environment being activated, rstudio starts with a few warnings about ...
When we activate the conda environment where 'which R' as well as 'RSTUDIO_WHICH_R' are set correctly, rstudio returns an error message in the R console as it tries to start R 4.3 which looks like this:

When I start rstudio with DEBUG logs enabled it looks like it picks the right R and sets all the necessary variables yet still it starts with the wrong R version...
