installing tydiverse on Linux Mint

Hello Luben,

As explained by Dirk, r2u is not tested with Mint, but since Mint is
based on Ubuntu and takes most of their packages from there, it may be
worth trying to get this working as if your Mint ("victoria")
installation really was Ubuntu ("jammy"). Most of the following comes
with no warranty; if you break it, you get both pieces:

I think you meant the Ubuntu 22.04 ("jammy")-compatible script:
https://github.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/raw/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_jammy.sh
I've just read both scripts and I don't see them using sudo (the
comments say it has to be run as root). Have you edited the script?
You need to find this line in /etc/apt/sources.list* and replace
victoria-cran40 with jammy-cran40.
All these are due to the script running as your user, not the
administrator account. Please double-check that you have the
jammy-compatible script, not the focal-compatible script, and run it as
the superuser.
The configure script of the systemfonts package is telling you which
system packages you need to install before it is able to do its job.
Does it help to retry install.packages() after installing the
libfontconfig1-dev Mint package?
