Description
Hello,
Fedora has a helpful copr that contains binaries of CRAN packages. Unfortunately there seems to be a conflict between the functionality of the copr and the installation of r-languageserver. To use the Fedora copr you need to install a Fedora package called R-CoprManager. When this is installed (even if it is manually disabled with R) it prevents installation of r-languageserver.
The current workaround is to uninstall R-CoprManager, install r-language server, and then reinstall R-CoprManager. I placed an issue on the R-CoprManager repos but it seems the issue is related to the build process being used here. Specifically they advise to add the `--vanilla`` argument, as follows:
R --vanilla --slave -f src/install.r <lib_loc> <ref>
Is it possible for you to modify accordingly, please?
Thanks.

Research direction
Start with src/install.r and the build invocation shown in the issue. Check how the R command is assembled, then verify that it uses the requested --vanilla argument. Done means r-languageserver can be installed without first removing R-CoprManager.
