Hi,
I'm an absolute fan of binary packages provided by c2d4u.team, and try
to install as many packages as possible this way. This includes the
Rspatial suite of packages with r-cran-sf as the main building block.
This has worked out of the box on Ubuntu 20.04, but recently I noticed
that my sf installation was out of date. Trying to update I get the
following error:
```
$ sudo apt install r-cran-sf
[sudo] password for rubak:

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-cran-sf : Depends: libgdal28 (>= 3.1.0) but it is not installable
Depends: libgeos-c1v5 (>= 3.9.0) but 3.8.0-1build1 is to
be installed
Depends: libproj19 (>= 7.1.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
```
How do I best update libgdal, libgeos and libproj to required versions?
Does anyone know how it is handled by the machine used by c2d4u.team?
[This tutorial][1] mentions that it is recommended to use [UbuntGIS
PPA][2] for spatial packages in R, but warns that it doesn't work with
the binaries provided by c2d4u.team.
I would disagree with the warning. If you look look at the "Technical
details about this PPA" on the c2d4u4.0 page, you will see that it does
depend on the the ubuntugis-stable PPA. You will need to install that
PPA in order to use a majority of the spatial packages. I have not had
issues with installing the packages on my Focal machine.
The warnings you see above as usual an indication that you are missing
one of the dependent PPAs. If you add the ubuntugis-stable PPA and you
still get the errors, please let me know.
Hope this helps,
Michael
Any suggestions of how to approach this? I really want to stay as close
as possible to plain Ubuntu binaries and the binaries provided by
c2d4u.team.
Cheers,
Ege
