I am trying to install expect package on my ClearOS server.
I tried:
yum install tcl
yum install expect
Both return "ERROR: xz compression not available"
The repositories I have enabled are:
clearos
clearos-addons
clearos-extras
clearos-updates
clearos-updates
epel
epel
rpmforge
webtatic
Can anybody tell me what is wrong? My knowledge of servers is also pretty limited.
Alright, I've fixed the problem. The error was caused by the foreign repositories that I have added hoping they will contain tcl and expect packages.
So I removed them and the yum is working again.
rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/epel*
rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge*
rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/webtatic*
Nevertheless this got rid of the issue with yum, I still cannot find the expect package. If anyone knows how to install this, please let me know...

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.
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

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.
Have installed GNS3 on my Linux (Debian Strech) and getting below error message, please help, installed from package, OS updated. qt and sip at their newest version on my machine (installed).
Fail update installation: No module named 'sip' **
**Can't import Qt modules: Qt and/or PyQt is probably not installed correctly...
Any help/direction to solve the problem will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in-advance.
For anyone still getting this error, I found that it was due to Xenial to Bionical upgrade that left a PPA hanging around, I guess there was a dependency missing. Here is exactly what I did to fix it.
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gns3*
sudo apt-get update
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gns3/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y -u dist-upgrade
Then you can start gns3.
Try to install this python module:
sudo pip install pyqt5
i found out that the problem was a source in source.list.
in my case was the firefox quantum
I resolved this by installing from source file, by following this link, replaced 1.3.9 to 2.1.2 and worked.
https://gns3.com/discussions/getting-gns4-1-4beta1-gui-runnin
I got this after upgrading Ubuntu to 20.04. Only thing that worked was backing up my GNS3 folder with my project files, uninstalling gns3-server and gns3-gui, then re-installing. Everything works now.
I know this was already asked before but none of the answers I tried worked for me. I need to install R but every time I try this error comes up:

To other errors that I encountered, I used the ff and solved them:

gpg -a --export E084DAB9 | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
However the first error still shows up. Any idea how to solve this? Please.
#neilfws comment was the only thing that helped. I followed his link. And I used this answer (the most upvoted one as of now).
So what I did,
sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude install r-base
This first gave me an option to accept but somehow still had some dependencies unresolved, so I rejected the first suggestion and accepted the next one that "sounded reasonable"
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) r-base [Not Installed]
2) r-cran-foreign [Not Installed]
3) r-recommended [Not Installed]
Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
4) r-base-core recommends r-recommended
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] n
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Install the following packages:
1) r-cran-foreign [0.8.69-1xenial0 (xenial)]
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] Y
I have documented the whole re-installation here.
Background
I installed R3.5 on my Ubuntu 16.04, after installing the package XLSX following various resources as documented here, I thought I have problems with other packages (I was wrong), which is when I decided to reinstall. I started with purging all the installations but nothing was enough and I got a similar error as that of the OP.
I tried to install R on Ubuntu (14.04) with this command:
sudo apt-get install r-base
The network connection went down during the download / install so I had to end the download (ctrl-c). I retried the same command to restart and it is a mess. There are indications of all kinds of dependency problems. I researched and tried 'sudo apt-get remove r-base' (along with autoremove) and that does not allow me to try to reinstall. In fact, I have tried all kinds of ways to remove but nothing. How can I rectify this? Thank you!
I'm a newbie to Linux and try to install the latest R version on my Raspberry.
My Raspberry runs on Wheezy 7.8.
I followed instructions on CRAN, so I
added
deb http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/debian wheezy-cran3/
to /etc/apt/sources.list
ran apt-get update which was successful and gave me only a "signature error" for the public key as pointed out on the CRAN-site
ran apt-get install r-base
But the result of the last command is
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

I tried to install R-2.15 before and then run the above commands. R-2.15 could be installed successfuly, but I'd need R-3* really.
I did browse the web, but couldn't find any useful hints for my specific problem, so I appreciate any support you could give me.
Thanks!

I had the same situation and decided to install that from the source code instead of install R from the repository(apt-get command).
Here is the command I run on my Raspberry Pi 2.
I could install and run R(3.1.2) sucessfully.
It might not be complete answer for you because I might already installed the library like gcc you did not have before. If you encounter the other issue, please let me know. I would like to solve it.
Just as a side note on this topic, because sudo make install process took a long time(maybe over a hour. I'm not sure because I feel asleep before I knew it...), I recommend you to do this when you have enough or before going to sleep like me.
wget http://cran.rstudio.com/src/base/R-3/R-3.1.2.tar.gz
mkdir R_HOME
mv R-3.1.2.tar.gz R_HOME/
cd R_HOME/
tar zxvf R-3.1.2.tar.gz
cd R-3.1.2/
sudo apt-get install gfortran libreadline6-dev libx11-dev libxt-dev
./configure
make
sudo make install
R
The cause of your problem is likely that the cran repository provides armel versions of the packages, and not armhf (which is the expected architecture for your RPI). If this is right, then you have two solutions:
The first work-around could be to download the armel version of the packages and then force their installation despite the architecture mismatch. It is supposed to work according to the Debian wiki, although you may experience performance issues:
The CPU in the Raspberry Pi implements the ARMv6 ISA (with VFP2) and
is thus incompatible with the Debian armhf port baseline of ARMv7+VFP3
and ARM hardware-floating-point ports for other distributions, which
all have the same baseline. It is compatible with Debian armel
(armv4t, soft(emulated) FP), but floating-point tasks will be slow
when running the Debian armel port.
To do that, you can try to reinstall the packages by specifying the armel architecture, for example:
apt-get install r-base:armel
If it doesn't work this way, you can otherwise download the packages from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/wheezy-cran3/ and install them manually using a commandline like:
dpkg --install --force-architecture xxxx_armel.deb yyyy_armel.deb zzzz_armel.deb
The other solution would be to compile R from its source.
I solved my initial question by upgrading Wheezy to Jessie. I am not an expert, but Jessie seems to be the current testing version of Debian, while Wheezy is the stable release - see here.
For upgrading, I followed the instructions here, or here, or here. Note: Upgrading takes quite a while and during the process you're required to answer some questions.
A word of caution though: Jessie is still testing and some people recommend not to use it yet, for a discussion see e.g. here.
I did set it up completely from a new completely new image, and it works well.
After having upgraded to Jessie I installed R-3.1.1. using
sudo apt-get install r-base
And I'd like to thank all those who have answered my question and given alternative ways of solving the problem above.
I'm able to install R-3.1.2 into raspbian using answer from teramonagi. I confirm it can install successfully on Raspberry Pi model B/B+.
However, before you can actually use R (install packages and run some R scripts), you have to increase the swap file size for Raspberry Pi due to lack of RAM (This service works very similar to page file in window, it kicks in when RAM usage is high). You can configure it by edit one of the config file by enter command below in LX terminal.
sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile
CONF_SWAPSIZE=100 #(change 100 to 512 or 1024, up to you, save the file)
sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile stop
sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile start #(restart swap file service with new swap file size)
Take note though, some users argued that increase swap file size can actually ruin your SD card. So apply this change at your own risk. I've been running my Pi with this configuration for my R automation for 1 month now. No issue so far.
Hope this helps.
Edit: If you are using model B/B+, i recommend to configure swap file size first then compile R.
That's what I've done to update my r-base on wheezy:
