Hello, I appear to have a similar issue as?Willem Ligtenberg (Disco Dingo repository issues,?Thu May 2 19:01:04 CEST 2019), except on a completely fresh installation of Ubuntu?18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver). After updating and upgrading packages and adding the repo "deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/" and associated key, attempting to install r-base fails due to unmet dependencies: ? ? sudo apt install r-base? ? Reading package lists... Done? ? Building dependency tree? ? Reading state information... Done? ? 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 (>= 3.6.0-2bionic) but 3.4.4-1ubuntu1 is to be installed? ? ? ? ? ? ? Depends: r-recommended (= 3.6.0-2bionic) but it is not going to be installed? ? ? ? ? ? ? Recommends: r-base-html but it is not going to be installed Dr. Rutter resolved the issue on Disco Dingo by fixing an entry in a configuration file. Was there perhaps a similar issue in a configuration file in the Bionic Beaver version that may not have been resolved? Best,B [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Small correction: The last lines should be? ? ? The following packages have unmet dependencies:? ? ?r-base : Depends: r-base-core (>= 3.6.0-2bionic) but it is not going to be installed? ? ? ? ? ? ? Depends: r-recommended (= 3.6.0-2bionic) but it is not going to be installed? ? ? ? ? ? ? Recommends: r-base-html but it is not going to be installed? ? ? ? ? ? ? Recommends: r-doc-html but it is not going to be installed for the first installation attempt. The lines in the first message reflect a later installation attempt after installing from the Ubuntu standard repos.

I can't tell what you did wrong as I can't see your setup -- and your email is not really readable on my screen (next time please try text mode if you can). Bionic beaver works for other people, see eg this blog post, support slides and (primarily) video http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2019/06/09#022_rocker_and_ppas http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/papers/r4_rocker_and_ppas.pdf https://youtu.be/qIjWirNma-8 which shows how to install all of tidyverse and rstan, respectively, with one commands thanks to the Rutter PPAs and Ubuntu 18.04 -- Bionic Beaver. See below [1] for a quick demo using the same Docker container. Note that it also does 'apt-get update' -- maybe you just miss that. You can see the container setup here https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker/blob/master/r-ubuntu/Dockerfile which should make all this reproducible for you.
