Maybe. Maybe not. Did you check packages.ubuntu.com (or another source) to see if it still exists? Per https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libblas-common it is only listed for xenial (16.04) and zesty (17.04), not your 17.10. | So I try to install: | | goran@M6800:~$ sudo apt install libblas-common | [sudo] password for goran: | Reading package lists...

To recap: you have an issue on 17.10 only, and the R is self-built or the one installable as binary via CRAN?
