sqldf doesn't install on Ubuntu 14.04 - r

I'm trying to install sqldf package in an Ubuntu 14.04 machine, but I'm getting the following error:
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘sqldf’ is not available (for R version 3.0.2)
I tried to install the library libpq-dev as suggested from other post, but I still receive the message.
UPDATE
I'm trying to update R, but I'm getting the following message:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
r-base : Depends: r-base-core (>= 3.1.2-1precise0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: r-recommended (= 3.1.2-1precise0) 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.
I tried the solutions in this topic, but none worked

Look at the package page:
Depends: R (≥ 3.1.0), gsubfn (≥ 0.6), proto, RSQLite (≥ 1.0.0)
As the error message clearly states, you are using an older R 3.0.2 which is less than the required 3.1.0.
The fix is easy: read the Ubuntu-specific README, make the adjustment to install (current !!) R binaries as .deb package via apt-get from CRAN -- and you will have R 3.1.2 in no time.
Which will permit you to install the current sqldf as well.

I followed these instructions and everything worked!
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev

You can find this resolved with this try this out:
# Install function for packages
packages<-function(x) {
x<-as.character(match.call()[[2]])
if (!require(x,character.only=TRUE)) {
install.packages(pkgs=x,repos="http://cran.r-project.org")
require(x,character.only=TRUE)
}
}
packages(ggplot2)
packages(reshape2)
packages(plyr)
# etc ...other packages
that's all enjoy..!!

Installing R `sf` and `RPostgres` packages on Unbuntu 18.04.4

Desire is to installed R {sf} and {RPostgres} packages on Ubuntu 18.04.4.
Trying:
R$> install.packages("sf")
configure: error: gdal-config not found or not executable.
Some SO searching (eg https://stackoverflow.com/a/49181048/2802810) suggests this:
sh$> sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev
The following packagess have unmet dependencies: libpq-dev :
Depends: libpq5 (= 10.12-0Ubuntu0.18.04.1) but 12.3-1.pgdg18.04+1 is
to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have broken
packages.
I also need libpq-dev for R {RPostgres}.
You may want to add PPA, depending on your R version.
https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/c2d4u
https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/c2d4u3.5
https://launchpad.net/~c2d4u.team/+archive/ubuntu/c2d4u4.0+
After adding PPA, you can install using sudo apt install r-cran-sf and sudo apt install r-cran-rpostgres
OKaaaay. The box I'm working in didn't have a Postgres repo installed (https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/). Never libpq libs and that was all it needed.

Unable to install latest R version on Ubuntu 18.04 linux

I want to be able to install the latest stable R release for Ubuntu 18.04, I had the ubuntu version installed and so I removed it and then followed several guides like in this link.
No matter what I do I get the following output when I issue a sudo apt-get install r-base:
sudo apt install r-base

What's wrong?

Problems installing R 3.5 on Ubuntu 16.04

Recently I had to update R from 3.4.4 to 3.5 for installing bioconductor packages. For doing that I followed the steps on this link.
But now I have the problem that r studio do not work for the problem:
R shared library (/usr/local/lib/R/lib/libR.so) not found. If this is
a custom build of R, was it built with the --enable-R-shlib option?
For that reason I tried to reinstall R 3.4.4 with the command:
sudo apt-get install r-base
But it returns me this error:

Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

Does anyone know how to remove completely R (3.5) and installing again the 3.4 version?
Thank you all.
Edit: R works on command line with the 3.5 version and I cannot install other packages like:
$ sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev

Package dependencies cannot be resolved error while installing r-base from Ubuntu Software center

The message says:-
This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable.
Furthermore, there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.
Details:-
The following packages have unmet dependencies:-
r-base: Depends: r-base-core (>= 3.4.3-1trusty0) but 3.4.3-1trusty0 is to be installed
Depends: r-recommended (= 3.4.3-1trusty0) but 3.4.3-1trusty0 is to be installed
I have also tried the code:-
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:texlive-backports/ppa
sudo apt-get update
I cannot understand how to instal R in Ubuntu 14.04.

r-base-core build on ubuntu 10.04 failing because of missing libjpeg8 package

You can try the following commands.
sudo apt-get install -f
This would install any dependencies that your previous installs missed.
