Upgrade of r-base to 3.4.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 using the marutter/rrutter PPA terribly failed on my server. One way to reproduce the problem is using the stable opencpu image which currently ships with R 3.4.1:
docker run -i -t opencpu/base /bin/bash This image is currently stable. Now add the rrutter ppa and upgrade: add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter apt-get update apt-get upgrade Note that if we try apt-get install r-base or r-base-recommended we get: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Unfortunately what I did was 'apt-get dist-upgrade -y' which uninstalled most of the system in order to upgrade r-base-core. That left me here: https://twitter.com/opencpu/status/913714052542746624 [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Debian mailing list R-SIG-Debian@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian
