Try running bspm::enable() in a fresh R session. After that, do calls
to install.packages() in the same R session go through r2u? If yes,
feel free to restore the lines "suppressMessages(bspm::enable())" and
"options(bspm.version.check=FALSE)" in ${RHOME}/etc/Rprofile.site. If
no, maybe the resulting error messages provide more of a hint.

That's actually a good debugging step:
- check if you can use r2u without bspm, ie try to run
     sudo apt install r-cran-digest
  or any other package with more depenendies
- if that works try to see why involving bspm does create an issue

As Ivan noted, it matters to re-enable bspm in /etc/R/Rprofile.site
