Hello I am trying to install r-base for Ubuntu 16.04.
I have followed the steps at https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/README.html
However I am getting a 'unmet dependencies' error when I run sudo apt-get install r-base
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
r-base : Depends: r-recommended (= 3.4.4-1xenial0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Any ideas for getting around this?
Thanks in advance!
Running the following commands seems to have solved my problem:
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Running the following fixed it for me, but this solution uses r-base-dev not r-base (r-base still didn't work).
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install r-base-dev
Make sure to check in the software and properties that if your restricted and universe repositories are enabled. Here's a link with more information.
I started getting this issue because I added the wrong apt-repository for my version of Ubuntu (focal fossa instead of bionic).
Solved by doing sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list, then deleting any lines containing focal

I'm trying to install R 4.0 on Ubuntu, but get this error:
$ sudo apt-get install r-base

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

I have run these commands to set up apt to receive R 4.0, as recommended at https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/README.html:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E298A3A825C0D65DFD57CBB651716619E084DAB9
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu focal-cran40/'
sudo apt-get update
What am I doing wrong, and how can I fix it?
I did have R 3.4 installed on this system before, and removed it with
sudo apt-get remove r-*
sudo apt-get purge r-*
Have I screwed something up by doing that?
The error was, it turned out, entirely mine:
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu focal-cran40/'
added the repo for Ubuntu 20.04. I needed:
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran40/'
I am trying to install R by trying the following command on Ubuntu 18.04x64:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install r-base
following this tutorial (step 6)
but I get :
I tried to solve it with :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
based on this answer but I still take the same error. Any suggestions?

and it doesn't work.
i have tried
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libx32gcc-4.8-dev libc6-dev-i386
same result
and
sudo apt-get remove libx32gcc-4.8-dev libc6-dev-i386
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libx32gcc-4.8-dev libc6-dev-i386
but it doesn't work either...
i think you have to fix the packages by doing this
sudo apt-get install -f
I am newbie to both Ubuntu and R.
I am trying to install R 2.15.2 on ubuntu. Since the latest version of R is 3.0.X, I specified the version in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://cran.ma.imperial.ac.uk/bin/linux/ubuntu precise 2.15.2
Then I ran sudo apt-get install r-base.
It installs, but when I check version, it is 2.14.1, not 2.15.2
I tried to specify version in command line, such as:
sudo apt-get install r-base_2.15.2_1precision1
Always seeing:
E: Unable to locate package r-base_2.15.2_1precision1.
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'r-base_2.15.2_1precision1'
Any suggestion? Thanks.
If I run command:
sudo apt-get install r-base=2.15.2-1precise0
See the following message:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
r-base : Depends: r-recommended (= 2.15.2-1precise0) but 3.0.1-1precise0precise2 is to be installed
Recommends: r-base-html but it is not going to be installed
Find the solution.
I need to install like:
sudo apt-get install r-base-core=2.15.3-1precise0precise1
sudo apt-get install r-recommended=2.15.3-1precise0precise1
sudo apt-get install r-doc-html=2.15.3-1precise0precise1
sudo apt-get install r-base=2.15.3-1precise0precise1
Okay so the URL for where the packages are found has changed :^) on the cran.ma site:
Change the debian url to:
deb http://cran.ma.imperial.ac.uk/bin/linux/ubuntu precise/
do an apt-get update and try reinstalling

I used aptitude install to install a package, Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric, that apparently I couldn't install because of dependencies. I removed a couple of more libraries while doing it. I uninstalled Rstudio but still can't install R on my machine. I'm on ubuntu and this is what I get while running
sudo apt-get install r-base
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
r-base : Depends: r-base-core (>= 2.15.3-1quantal0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: r-recommended (= 2.15.3-1quantal0) 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.
any ideas how to start from scratch and get R running again?

Try this
If you have added a line from new ubuntu repository to /etc/apt/sources.list, erase the line.
Then, run the commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
It worked for me, the answer comes from here

Uninstall previous R installation:
sudo R --no-save
pkgList <- installed.packages(priority='NA')
remove.packages(pkgList)
q()
sudo apt-get remove --purge r-cran* r-base*
Follow instructions (for R part) from:
How to install R, JGR and Deducer in Ubuntu
To list what you installed with aptitude type the following
xyz#sxyzcom~$ sudo apt-get remove
This should list what remains of your R install and possibly anything else missing dependencies Then you can run
xyz#sxyzcom~$ sudo apt-get autoremove
and that should get you back to square one.
If you are facing problems regarding Broken packages then first of all remove that package by first checking dependencies and then forcefully remove that package, and don't ever forget to reboot when you do make enormous changes in your system. To remove that package use these shell commands
$ sudo su
Then Enter your password
# apt-cache rdepends package-name
# apt-get --purge remove --force package-name
Use these shell commands
# apt-get clean
# apt-get autoclean
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get dist-upgrade
# reboot
This worked for me, Try this, I believe this will fix all your problems, Good luck.
If you want to remove the package forcefully,you can do
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq package_name
and then
sudo apt-get update
