Austin,
I would suggest removing the lines you added to /etc/apt/sources.list
and try the following:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter
# Follow the prompts to add the key
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base
That should do the trick. The PPA used above is the one that is used to
seed the CRAN sites, so the packages are identical.
Hope this helps,
Michael

A possibly silly thought -- Did you "sudo apt-get update" after doing
the "sudo apt-add repository ..." statement? In other installs (non-R)
I've managed to shoot myself that way.

Hello everyone,
I've spent the last 2 days trying to install base R on my Ubuntu 14.04
LTS
machine. I even just wiped my entire computer and reinstalled the
operating
system thinking that was the problem (since some people have problems
updating R).
So far I've tried to follow this link exactly that has instructions:
http://mirror.las.iastate.edu/CRAN/
Since I just reinstalled Ubuntu I figured I would have no problems. I was
just wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them. I was
getting an
error while doing sudo apt-get update that said:
....public key not available iastate... NO_PUBKEY 51716619E084DAB9
So I followed that link above and installed the keys (as far as I know).
The current error while trying sudo apt-get install r-base (not installed
previously, fresh OS) is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Jun 13 : ~ $ sudo apt-get install r-base
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
r-base : Depends: r-base-core (>= 3.2.0-4precise0) but it is not
going to
be installed
Depends: r-recommended (= 3.2.0-4precise0) but it is not
going to
be installed
Recommends: r-base-html but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've tried countless other things and I'm just frustrated now from 2 days
of trying something that should be fairly straightforward (so I
thought...). I have tried installing the "Depends" packages, but no
dice. I
tried going to Ubuntu Software Center thinking it may do something
differnet but no help either. Can't install dependencies. I don't even
know
what else I've tried. I'm out of ideas.
Any help or solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Austin
