[R-sig-Debian] Problem Installing R 4.3.3 on Vanilla based Jammy Ubuntu
Ah! You know what, that might explain a lot? I just switched from working full time on AWS instead instances to a personal Mac laptop and I just bumped onto a related platform issues. I?ll follow up but I think your right, my container build is picking up that I?m on a arm64 cpu and is applying some specific switches based on that. News to me but make sense. I?ll dig up a bit and follow up.

The problem is that on the Mac, it is looking for ARM packages. CRAN only has amd64 and i386, which is why r-base (which has architecture: All) is correct, but r-base-core only has the original Jaunty ARM build. Also explains why my PPA works, as that has ARM builds. > > So this appears to be a hardware issue.

[R-sig-Debian] Problem Installing R 4.3.3 on Vanilla based Jammy Ubuntu
Marco, It usually helps to be aware of one's hardware platform ;-) There is an option for Docker command to tell it to switch to x86_64, my colleagues who are on M1 and alike use that to access the generally richer eco-system of binaries for the Intel world. If on the other hand you prefer to fully self-sufficient and compile 'everything' you now at least know that the RRutter PPA gives you R. Michael: Should we look into mirroring both architectures?
