R Base installation not working
Hi Marius, If you're really using Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid lynx), the r-base package does not exist anymore on the repository (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=r-base). You're version of Ubuntu is obsolete. If you want an Ubuntu LTS, you should upgrade to 14.04.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and have tried to download R-base with the
following command:
sudo apt-get install r-base
and the following happens:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package r-base is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package r-base has no installation candidate
How do I get around this?
