Dirk Just to complete this thread: - If you are using a CRAN mirror to install R 3.5, there was an error in the configuration file that has been fixed. It should work after the next CRAN sync. This should solve Syed's original problem. - To confirm Robin's post, regardless of which repository you use to install R 3.5, RRutter PPA or CRAN, you need to remove/disable the 3.4 repositories. Having both enabled will cause issues. Michael ___ R-SIG-Debian mailing list R-SIG-Debian@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian

Re: [R-sig-Debian] Problem with Ubuntu bionic R 3.5
Hi Dirk. I saw you installed a new release. Unfortunately the problem mentioned below does persist. I know this is perhaps a minor issue, as users report they can install manually (see below). But under strict installation policies this can create an issue. Synaptic is refusing to install. The German error message is "Die Änderungen konnten nicht angewendet werden! Bitte zuerst die Probleme mit defekten Paketen beheben." In English this should read something like "The change could not be applied. Solve problems with broken packages first."
