Subject: Upgrade to 3.4.2 fails due to r-api version conflict
Upgrade of r-base to 3.4.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 using the marutter/rrutter PPA
terribly failed on my server. One way to reproduce the problem is using the
stable opencpu image which currently ships with R 3.4.1:
docker run -i -t opencpu/base /bin/bash
This image is currently stable. Now add the rrutter ppa and upgrade:
add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
Note that if we try apt-get install r-base or r-base-recommended we get:
Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Unfortunately what I did was 'apt-get dist-upgrade -y' which uninstalled
most of the system in order to upgrade r-base-core. That left me here:
