Re: [R] R installation Ubuntu 18.04 missing dependency libreadline6
Thanks Rui, Depending on how I try to install I get a different error. I am starting to think that somehow the Ubuntu installation may be faulty. I used a ISO that I had burned about a year ago. I had no problem then with a shared installation but who knows. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-base results in john@jonh-T510:~$ sudo apt-get install r-base Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... 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 resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: r-base : Depends: r-base-core (>= 3.5.2-1xenial) but it is not going to be installed Depends: r-recommended (= 3.5.2-1xenial) 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 downloaded the R-3.5.2.tar.gz file and tried compiling.

Re: [R] R installation Ubuntu 18.04 missing dependency libreadline6
Cancel my mailing that source.list. to r-sig-debian. I took one last look at the sources.list file and realised that I had the same repository repeated. I had read it as being commented out but it was not. Delete one line and I was fine. Nothing like blindness! I must have scanned that thing at least 3 or 4 times and totally missed it. Your offer was gratefully received. I had not realised how often I use R in a day even just as a quick calculator. Thanks to everyone for the help. I was just about ready to reinstall Ubuntu and not looking forward to 2 or 3 days of installations and customising.

Re: [R] R installation Ubuntu 18.04 missing dependency libreadline6
Hi John, The official instructions at https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ work on a fresh ubuntu:bionic from dockerhub. This suggests that the issue is due to the configuration of your local system rather than with any problem with either R or ubuntu. My guess is that you've been reading too many blog posts and adding too many ppa's to your system, which can lead to package conflicts. Unfortunately in that case it's hard for people to help you remotely, since we don't know what you've done to your system.

Re: [R] R installation Ubuntu 18.04 missing dependency libreadline6
Hello, I never installed R on Ubuntu like you did it. I follow this: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-base sudo apt-get install r-base-dev And it works at the first try. See [1] The problems I [always] have are with missing Ubuntu libs needed by contributed packages, not with base R.
