Description

Starting on 2022-06-25, I began to receive daily emails from my GitHub fork of Arrow, alerting me to the following failing action:

Upload R Nightly builds Upload R Nightly builds

The action fails in Download Artifacts, with the following log content:

Run if [ -z $PREFIX ]; then

In discussion with others, it appears to be impacting users who have forked Arrow. Note that I have not done any customization of GihHub actions, inheriting only what upstream provides. I also have not touched anything related to R.

I have attempted to rebase on current tip of upstream and manually rerun the actions, but this produces the same result.
