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 following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
r-base : Depends: r-base-core (>= 3.4.4-1xenial0) but it is not going to
be installed
Depends: r-recommended (= 3.4.4-1xenial0) but it is not going to
be installed
Recommends: r-base-html but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
```
These packages are not even available because in theory I have uninstalled
R:
```
$ sudo apt remove purge r-base-core

Is there a way to solve this problem and install R 3.6 on a Chromebook?
