It looks like you may have repos mixed, or they are out of sync. The r-base-core you use should provide r-api-3. Maybe it is newer and it offers r-api-3.4 -- which the r-cran-car you try to install does not yet depend on. So the repo may be out of sync. If that is the case -- well I was forced to add r-api-3.4 which creates this bug "because it would make things better". I disagreed but was overruled. It all depends. For what it is worth, on my Ubuntu box on which I type this, both 'apt-cache show r-base-core' and 'apt-cache show r-cran-cran' want r-api-3. On Debian testing is should match too. Maybe the Raspian repo you have needs to catch up.
