R SIG Debian - Jul 2024 - Issues with Ubuntu 22.04 and Installing the Latest Version of R (R 4.4.1) to Docker Image

Hmm? It?s picking up the pre-made binary from ppa:marutter/rrutter4.0  using
apt-get install. Isn?t it what Lauren?s trying to do?

That's very kind but recall that Lauren wants _a pre-made binary_ of R.

And sorry for the spam, but I meant to say that the Dockerfile is basically
following the steps from https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ as Lauren
was trying to do but start by installing the pre-requisites needed to deploy the
r-base package on a Ubuntu 22.04 Docker image (which is NOT a base 22.04 but a
minimally striped version of 22.04).

My bad. Your wording (and I quote) "Dockerfile I use to build r-base"
mislead
me as I read "build" as opposed to "install".  

Anyway, many of us have such Dockerfile variants; I probably published and
use (in recurrent builds) half a dozen around rocker and rocker/r2u.

Let's try to focus on the README.md at

   https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/

which could be the canonical source for easy-to-follow steps.
