[R] R installation Ubuntu 18.04 missing dependency libreadline6

Thanks Ista,
Interestingly enough, I have only one repository as far as I can see. I was a
bit amazed.
I think I have a faulty Ubuntu installation and will have to reinstall. What fun
?

 Hi John,

The official instructions at
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ work on a fresh
ubuntu:bionic from dockerhub. This suggests that the issue is due to
the configuration of your local system rather than with any problem
with either R or ubuntu. My guess is that you've been reading too many
blog posts and adding too many ppa's to your system, which can lead to
package conflicts. Unfortunately in that case it's hard for people to
help you remotely, since we don't know what you've done to your
system.

Best,
Ista

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an
impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some
required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The

Hi John,

This is not the place, but if you post your /etc/apt/sources.list to
r-sig-debian I might be able to help you sort it out.

Best,
Ista

[R] R installation Ubuntu 18.04 missing dependency libreadline6

Cancel my mailing that source.list. to r-sig-debian.
?I took one last look at the sources.list file and realised that I had the same
repository repeated. I had read it as being commented out but it was not. Delete
one line and I was fine.?
Nothing like blindness! I must have scanned that thing at least 3 or 4 times and
totally missed it.??Your offer was gratefully received. I had not realised how
often I use R in a day even just as a quick calculator.

Thanks to everyone for the help. I was just about ready to reinstall Ubuntu and
not looking forward to 2 or 3 days of installations and customising.?
