I am trying to install R on Linux mint 17.1. I followed the instructions found
on CRAN and got a messages about unmet dependencies. I detail below the steps I
took:
I added deb http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu utopic/
to /etc/apt/sources.list
As can be seen below:
john-OptiPlex-GX270 apt # more sources.list
#deb cdrom:[Linux Mint 17.1 _Rebecca_ - Release i386 20141126]/ trusty contrib
main non-free
deb http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu utopic/
And then followed the instructions on CRAN:
sudo apt-get update
AND RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:
