after one more update of latex => it is builded.
I feel that this issue should be closed.

If R needs texlive when building, it needs to declare dependencies on the appropriate ports. If it's only using texlive when it happens to be installed, it should be configured not to do that.

From what I know it shouldn’t need texlive, though it seems to be using it if present. This error seems to be caused by a corrupted (?) texlive installation (hence a reinstall fixes the build).

Replying to i0ntempest:
From what I know it shouldn’t need texlive, though it seems to be using it if present. This error seems to be caused by a corrupted (?) texlive installation (hence a reinstall fixes the build).
So it sounds like this port is opportunistically using texlive, and that needs to be fixed per comment:5.
comment:9 Changed 3 years ago by i0ntempest
So it seems to use pdftex and pdflatex commands and also inconsolata font if present, from texlive-basic, texlive-latex, texlive-fonts-extra respectively. These are all relatively big packages (especially the last one weights 784MB compressed) and I've found no configure option switches to disable them. Not sure what's the right course here, just add all of them as dependency (bad idea imo)? Add a variant (need to figure out the switch first)?

Build is fine with texlive +medium. Maybe open a ticket for texlive, not R.
