tons of `*ubuntu1` packages causing "you have held broken packages" errors - r

For some reason, most of the installed packages on my 20.04 system seem to have this *ubuntu1 appended to the name (eg. liblzma5/5.2.4-1ubuntu1 below).
What does ubuntu1 and how can replace all these with the real ones (eg liblzma5/5.2.4-1) so that I can install stuff like r-base-devel.

Completely remove R and its files in Linux mint

I was having trouble with R packages so I decided to uninstall to do fresh install. Now I cannot even re-install R. I am using Linux Mint. what I did is:
Removed all directories found with .libPaths()
And in the terminal:
sudo apt-get remove r-base-core
sudo apt-get remove r-base
sudo apt-get autoremove
Now when I try to install R following https://cran.r-project.org/ tutorial, I get many errors:
sudo apt update -qq
E: The repository 'https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu una-cran40/ Release' does not have a Release file.

How to install R on ubuntu 16.10 via the terminal?

I'm trying to install R from the terminal following this site:
https://www.r-bloggers.com/how-to-install-r-on-linux-ubuntu-16-04-xenial-xerus/
When I execute sudo apt-get install r-base, I get the following error:

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
r-base : Depends: r-base-core (>= 3.3.2-1xenial0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: r-recommended (= 3.3.2-1xenial0) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: r-base-html but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Add the two others to the command, and see the errors it generates, ie do
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-core r-recommended
You likely you have something installed which conflicts. Many (and I mean thousands) of us run these packages just fine.
You can also consider the r-sig-debian mailing list.

Installing R in ubuntu

I am trying to install R in ubuntu, but faced the following error:

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Recommends: r-base-html but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Before doing this, I also added this line to /etc/apt/sources.list
# added from cran.cnr.berkley.edu for R
deb http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/linux/ubuntu lucid/
But when I tried to update, I received an authentication error:
...
Reading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu lucid/ Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 51716619E084DAB9
Any idea how to solve this issue?
I also did the instructions for SECURE APT, but still I get the following dependency error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
r-base-dev : Depends: r-base-core (>= 3.0.1-3lucid) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
But then I used a different mirror (by changing /etc/apt/sources.list) it worked:
deb http://cran.mtu.edu/bin/linux/ubuntu precise/
