Thanks very much, Dirk! I gave that a try and got the following: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install r-cran-car 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 to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: r-cran-car : Depends: r-api-3 Depends: r-cran-pbkrtest but it is not going to be installed Depends: r-cran-quantreg but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Given the message, should I assume that lme4 (and car) cannot be installed on my setup? Many thanks in advance!
