Problem Installing R 4.3.3 on Vanilla based Jammy Ubuntu

Hi r-sig-debian list, first time posting here! Something changed with the latest release of the R package for Ubuntu 22.04. When trying to install within a Docker image with base Ubuntu LTS 22.04 (Jammy) using the following Docker file (that I have been using for several years in many projects) that follows the install step on the CRAN Ubuntu page
Marco, Clipping a bunch of the output for clarity. Found the issue, but I am not a Docker expert or regular user, so I am not going to offer a solution. I found the issue while using a Jaunty image on a M1 Mac. The problem is that on the Mac, it is looking for ARM packages. CRAN only has amd64 and i386, which is why r-base (which has architecture: All) is correct, but r-base-core only has the original Jaunty ARM build. Also explains why my PPA works, as that has ARM builds. So this appears to be a hardware issue. Hope this helps. Michael
$ apt policy r-base

Finally, if I change the repos to M. Rutter ppa, it fixes the problem. Here?s a working version of the Dockerfile with the changes
FROM ubuntu:22.04
USER root
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive
## INSTALL R
RUN apt update \
&& apt install -y --no-install-recommends \
software-properties-common \
dirmngr \
gnupg2 \
wget \
&& wget -q -O - https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/marutter_pubkey.asc \
| tee -a /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/cran_ubuntu_key.asc \
&& add-apt-repository -y "ppa:marutter/rrutter4.0"
RUN apt update -y \
&& apt install -y r-base
If this is the new way of pulling r-base with apt install, the CRAN documentation should be updated but I have a feeling that something basic is broken somewhere that could be easily fixed. I don?t maintain Ubuntu package so this is the extent of my knowledge but I have many deployed pipelines referencing cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu<https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu> that will probably need updated?
Looking forward to solutions.
Marco
