Good morning!


I'm trying to install R on my PC (16.04; LTS), but the following error ocours:


E: Falhou obter http://ppa.launchpad.net/skunk/pepper-flash/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found

I ran the following commands on the terminal:


  *   printf '\n#CRAN mirror\ndeb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu xenial-cran35/\n' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
  *   sudo apt-get update

The error ocours when I ran the sudo apt-get update.

I tried to see the reason for this error and noticed that the "xenial" folder is not in the address http://ppa.launchpad.net/skunk/pepper-flash/ubuntu/dists/xenial, which should be.

If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

Best regards,

That error doesn't have anything to do with R. Remove anything
installed from that old busted PPA, remove it from your sources.list,
and install R as instructed at
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/

Best,
