r-base-dev not installing in Ubuntu 16.04
I have recently re-installed R on my Ubuntu system to get R 3.5 and found this to have worked: # you may need to remove incumbent repos e.g. with: sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:marutter/rrutter # add new repos sudo apt-add-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter3.5 # for base R sudo apt-add-repository ppa:marutter/c2d4u4.5 # for pkgs - this saved me lots of time installing my set-up At the end of it these are the only R-related repos I have: apt policy | grep 3.5 # 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/marutter/rrutter3.5/ubuntu xenial/main i386 Packages # release v=16.04,o=LP-PPA-marutter-rrutter3.5,a=xenial,n=xenial,l=RRutter v3.5,c=main,b=i386 # 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/marutter/rrutter3.5/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages # release v=16.04,o=LP-PPA-marutter-rrutter3.5,a=xenial,n=xenial,l=RRutter v3.5,c=main,b=amd64 # 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/marutter/c2d4u3.5/ubuntu xenial/main i386 Packages # release v=16.04,o=LP-PPA-marutter-c2d4u3.5,a=xenial,n=xenial,l=cran2deb4ubuntu_3.5,c=main,b=i386 # 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/marutter/c2d4u3.5/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages # release v=16.04,o=LP-PPA-marutter-c2d4u3.5,a=xenial,n=xenial,l=cran2deb4ubuntu_3.5,c=main,b=amd64 Hope this helps. Please add-to this advice anyone who's more experienced than me in this. Thanks to all involved in getting this working and documented. Robin On Wed, Jun 13, 2018 at 10:22 AM, Syed Murtuza baker <
