I ran into a problem installing R 3.5 on Ubuntu Bionic Beaver. In file /etc/apt/sources.list I added the repository entry "deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/". But "apt-get update" now produces an error message: W: Konflikt bei Distribution: https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/ InRelease (bionic-cran35/ erwartet, aber bionic bekommen) In english, this should read something like W: conflict in distribution: https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/ InRelease (bionic-cran35/ expected, but bionic received) It seems as if the new bionic R-3.5 distribution is not set up properly. I wonder if the "Codename" entry or the "Suite" entry in the /bin/linux/ubuntu/bionic-cran35/InRelease file should read "bionic-cran35" instead of "bionic". Uli
Problem with Ubuntu bionic R 3.5

I have this too on Ubuntu Bionic. The English error message is: W: Conflicting distribution: https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/ InRelease (expected bionic-cran35/ but got bionic) Though the error doesn't seem to prevent use of the repository. I could apt-get install R 3.5 no problem. On Wed, Jun 13, 2018 at 2:04 PM, Ulrich Leuchtmann <

Great. Many thanks. BTW: Synaptic is refusing to install R due to this issue. Uli Am 13.06.2018 um 14:32 schrieb Dirk Eddelbuettel:

Hi Dirk. I saw you installed a new release. Unfortunately the problem mentioned below does persist. I know this is perhaps a minor issue, as users report they can install manually (see below). But under strict installation policies this can create an issue. Synaptic is refusing to install. The German error message is "Die ?nderungen konnten nicht angewendet werden! Bitte zuerst die Probleme mit defekten Paketen beheben." In English this should read something like "The change could not be applied. Solve problems with broken packages first."

My apologizes, I had an error in the apt configuration file. I have corrected the error and tested it in docker. Should resolve itself the next time the CRAN servers sync. Michael

Hi Michael. I fear I'm becoming a pain in your back. Sorry. The problem with the "Components" and "Suite" name in the "InRelease" file for bionic-cran35 has been solved. *Many thanks for that.* However, "sudo apt-get install r-base" creates an error message (again here the German version): ulrich at linuxdesktop:~$ sudo apt-get install r-base Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig Abh?ngigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut. Statusinformationen werden eingelesen.... Fertig Einige Pakete konnten nicht installiert werden. Das kann bedeuten, dass Sie eine unm?gliche Situation angefordert haben oder, wenn Sie die Unstable-Distribution verwenden, dass einige erforderliche Pakete noch nicht erstellt wurden oder Incoming noch nicht verlassen haben. Die folgenden Informationen helfen Ihnen vielleicht, die Situation zu l?sen: Die folgenden Pakete haben unerf?llte Abh?ngigkeiten: ?r-base : H?ngt ab von: r-recommended (= 3.5.0-1bionic) soll aber nicht installiert werden E: Probleme k?nnen nicht korrigiert werden, Sie haben zur?ckgehaltene defekte Pakete. That's something new. I know, I could probably solve this problem by ??? sudo apt-get install r-base r-recommended But somehow I am puzzled that r-base now _depends_ on r-recommended. Is that the way it is supposed to be now? In this case I think the installation instruction on CRAN would need to get updated. Or is this an error in the dependencies?

As such your request of 'install me just r-base, please' was not satisfiable. I keep forgetting which of the two deals smoothly with it, but between 'apt-get dist-upgrade' and 'apt-get update' one does; I think it is the former which I use way more.

The problem with the "Components" and "Suite" name in the "InRelease"
file for bionic-cran35 has been solved. *Many thanks for that.* However,
"sudo apt-get install r-base" creates an error message (again here the
German version):
ulrich at linuxdesktop:~$ sudo apt-get install r-base
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abh?ngigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.
Statusinformationen werden eingelesen.... Fertig
Einige Pakete konnten nicht installiert werden. Das kann bedeuten, dass
Sie eine unm?gliche Situation angefordert haben oder, wenn Sie die
Unstable-Distribution verwenden, dass einige erforderliche Pakete noch
nicht erstellt wurden oder Incoming noch nicht verlassen haben.
Die folgenden Informationen helfen Ihnen vielleicht, die Situation zu
l?sen:
Die folgenden Pakete haben unerf?llte Abh?ngigkeiten:
r-base : H?ngt ab von: r-recommended (= 3.5.0-1bionic) soll aber nicht
installiert werden
E: Probleme k?nnen nicht korrigiert werden, Sie haben zur?ckgehaltene
defekte Pakete.
That's something new. I know, I could probably solve this problem by
sudo apt-get install r-base r-recommended
But somehow I am puzzled that r-base now _depends_ on r-recommended. Is
that the way it is supposed to be now? In this case I think the
installation instruction on CRAN would need to get updated. Or is this
an error in the dependencies?
Best regards

Uli, Thanks for the email. Confirmed the issue, but it took me a bit to find the reason. Turns out some of the packages have a label of "Bionic" vs. "bionic" and my mirroring script missed those. I believe the issues is now fixed. Things should work after the next mirror sync. Michael
