Interpreter details:

R 4.4.2

Describe the issue:

Positron keeps broking during package installation. My record was installing 2 packages in a row after breaking Positron. Most of the time during installation R stops, the restart button doesn't work. After closing and reopening Positron he can't find the R interpreter and this is my view on the console

Following the suggestion of starting the interpreter from the menù on the top right, it's possible to see all the R installation in the systems but clicking on them doesn't cause anything to happen. The only thing that i saw working is to reinstall positron. After that i have to remove the LOCK00 folder from the library and then i can finally try to reinstall the package. So at the end for installing one package i have to try first, then reinstall positron, delete the LOCK00 folder and reinstall the package, almost everytime.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Just install any package from the console. I think it might happen with everything but last time it happened with:

install.packages("dotwhisker")

Expected or desired behavior:

That it actually install it, or if don't, that at least let me restart the interpreter to retry the installation

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

I already lost my session so i don't knkow right now, but if it feels necessary to have it i will reproduce again the bug next week and check better the log.
