R SIG Debian - Apr 2020 - CRAN R 4.0.0 for Ubuntu repos missing r-recommend dependency

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for the suggested workarounds. This was just a VM I had spun up so I
could test R4.0.0. I'm happy to wait for Michael to fix it when he has time.

Hi Dirk,

Could there be a typo on
https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/README.html? The installation
entries mention cran35 for R 4.0. Should that be cran40?

Best regards,

Thierry
