Cannot Install R to Trusty 14.04
Timothy, The link from stackoverflow gave some bad advice, IMO. You should be using the RRutter PPA, not RDev. RDev is the where I build not-ready-for-prime-time versions of R, and sometimes they break other things. RRutter is what is used to seed CRAN. Here is the link: https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/rrutter I would remove the RDev PPA and install RRutter. The newest version of R (3.2.0) should be appearing the next 24 hours or so on the PPA. Michael

Hello, I've followed the instructions at several different how to sites: http://cran.r-project.org/ http://r-interface.blogspot.com/2012/04/install-r-jgr-and-deducer-in-ubuntu.html http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28273441/receiving-unmet-dependency-while-installing-r-base-on-ubuntu-14-10 I've installed R to various Ubuntu's before, including trusty, but recently it has stopped working: dhis at tmctpsql:~$ sudo apt-get install r-base-dev 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-dev : Depends: r-base-core (>= 3.1.3.20150410-1trusty) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Any ways around this? Does anyone else have issues with installing to a brand new trusty install?
