I am trying to install ninja which removes meson, and installing meson removes ninja, with the above error. Does anyone know what to do about this?
The correct Debian package for the ninja build system is ninja-build.
sudo apt-get install meson ninja-build

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.

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.
apt install --no-install-recommends r-base

I would like to be able to install the rstan package from binaries (without compiling from source). This blog post by Dirk Eddelbuettel has some clear instructions that should enable me to do exactly that. However I get the following error message when I try and install RStan. Here are the commands I used.
docker run --rm -ti rocker/r-ubuntu:18.04 bash
apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade -y
apt-get install -y r-cran-rstan
This produces the following error message.

Installing the R tidyverse package using Dirk's instructions works fine. I am working on a Ubuntu OS within the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL-2).
These things can happen -- the best best is to then try
sudo apt install r-cran-v8
which reveals r-cran-node64 is required but not available.
I work much more with 20.04 than 18.04 so I don't what is going on here. I would recommend asking on the r-sig-debian list if anybody else has seen this.
PS And if you try 20.04 instead it works there.
When I install a fcitx related package an error show that qtbase-abi-5-5-1 is needed but not installed.

I tried using command sodu apt install qtbase-abi-5 to find the package but failed. I then download the .deb package from https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/16.04/ubuntu-updates-main-amd64/libqt5core5a_5.5.1+dfsg-16ubuntu7.5_amd64.deb.html but it was not work, the page show that this .deb package provide the qtbase-abi-5 package. Interestingly, I can find few information about this error by google. Some info from Ask ubuntu forum say that it seems the qtbase-abi-5 is not included in libqt5core5a.
I don't know how to fix it. Can you give me some suggestion or some link which do can download qtbase-abi-5 ?
Thanks #GAD3R for your answer, I am sorry that it fails.

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.
