Dear Debian persons I would like enquire about whether the repository deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/ I tried to follow the instructions and I cannot get R3.5.1 - I get R3.4.4??? I have been able to install R3.5.1 on Ubuntu 16.02 using the xenial-cran35/ repository & so not sure if the bionic link is up to date? thanks in advance Regards Alison Alison Smith Principal Research Fellow National Institute for Applied Statistics Research Australia (NIASRA) School of Mathematics & Applied Statistics Faculty of Engineering & Information Sciences Building 39C Room 261 University of Wollongong NSW 2522 M: 0417 947 115 E: alismith at uow.edu.au W: http://niasra.uow.edu.au/index.html [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Works for me on multiple machines:
edd at rob:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
edd at rob:~$ apt-cache policy r-base-core
r-base-core:
Installed: 3.5.1-1bionic
Candidate: 3.5.1-1bionic

Make sure you remove any old entries / competing entries in /etc/apt/source*:
edd at rob:~$ ag cran /etc/apt/
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/cran.list
1:deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/ # disabled
on upgrade to bionic
edd at rob:~$
Here the bionic-cran35 entry is the only CRAN entry I have.
| I have been able to install R3.5.1 on Ubuntu 16.02 using the xenial-cran35/
repository & so not sure if the bionic link is up to date?
Should be. You can also poke 'by hand' with a browser...

Dear Dirk (other users and Dave) PART 1 I finally was able to install R.3.5.1, however, I had to invoke the following sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9 As this skin of Ubuntu 18.04 (Peppermint) does not seem to allow access to the bionic-cran35 repository unless this key is set and added to the system. This is odd - well for me anyway, as for other skins of Ubunto say 16.04 (Peppermint) I do not have to do this, though when I do sudo apt-get update it does complain bitterly about the key not being validated but continues? Perhaps this would be a useful addition to the install notes on the R webpage. Just a thought - unless I have done something really silly. PART 2 On another related matter. (If I may beg for assistance) I am a co-developer of an R package which is alas not open source - even I require a license key. There is some setting which is stopping the Peppermint browser from allowing the RLM to access the session in R See screenshot and also the page below for the way to install https://www.vsni.co.uk/resources/vsni-new-licensing If this is too much to ask for any ideas to work around then please ignore thanks again Brian (not Alison Smith- I am married to Alison and assisting with her IT matters) Regards Alison Alison Smith Principal Research Fellow National Institute for Applied Statistics Research Australia (NIASRA) School of Mathematics & Applied Statistics Faculty of Engineering & Information Sciences Building 39C Room 261 University of Wollongong NSW 2522 M: 0417 947 115 E: alismith at uow.edu.au W: http://niasra.uow.edu.au/index.html ________________________________________ From: Dirk Eddelbuettel <dirk.eddelbuettel at gmail.com> on behalf of Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd at debian.org> Sent: Tuesday, 24 July 2018 2:59 AM To: Alison Smith Cc: Dirk Eddelbuettel Subject: Re: [R-sig-Debian] Ubuntu issue with 18.04 Bionic Beaver Alison, It would be preferable to have follow-up emails on-list as welll...
