Apologies for some errors inserted by overly-helpful input filters on
Thunderbird.
Here's the corrected version.
Just in case others hit the same glitch. It's not directly an R issue, but
if folk can't get
an install to work, they are not going to use R.
While I've always had a straightforward experience before, this install gave
some troubles.
I added the repository
deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/
When I "saved" in Software Sources to add the additional repository, I
got a malformed repository error.
So I took out the "deb" bit of the line, and it was accepted.
I added the key for Michael Rutter and checked it is not the second key as per
http://rubuntu.netlify.com/post/changes-to-cran-ubuntu-webpage-regarding-apt-secure-key/
Then I got
"The repository 'https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic
Release' does not have a Release file."
Note no "-cran35". Turns out that Software Sources added a
"bionic" so the repository line read
deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic bionic-cran35/
Took out the bionic and things worked fine.
