error converted from warning

[BenoitLondon]

When calling devtools functions sometimes a simple warning (due to my R installation on docker missing some folders/files) gets converted into an error and thus crashes the gitlab pipeline
Is it possible to avoid the warning to error conversion?

e.g

> devtools::install()
Select package(s) to update
1:   Rcpp (0.12.19 -> 1.0.0) [CRAN]
Enter one or more numbers separated by spaces, or an empty line to cancel
1: 1
Installing 1 packages: Rcpp
.....
DONE (Rcpp)

The downloaded source packages are in
	‘/tmp/RtmpPEuxFH/downloaded_packages’
Updating HTML index of packages in '.Library'
Error in file.create(f.tg) : 
  (converted from warning) cannot create file '/usr/lib64/R/doc/html/packages.html', reason 'No such file or directory'
