Thanks for your answer dirk! I've tried a few different mirrors before, including the rstudio one. To be sure i've tried again with the one you provided, but didn't work. I've found this other method, that worked. I guess it's not the official one, right? sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade from the following SO answer.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15260250/re-installing-r-linux-ubuntu-unmet-dependencies-r Martin
