My analysis was wrong.  It actually does access the network but *if* it
is able the build breaks (as well as the attempt to load the library in
R).  I guess there are good chances that the build would have worked if
network access is not possible because there is a timeout defined after
that the version check (which causes the failure) is interupted.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
