Subject: r-base-dev not installing in Ubuntu 16.04
In-Reply-To: <7AC2E1E1-E97B-4188-A597-FACE457A8B7D@manchester.ac.uk>
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.
