Hi,
I removed openblas:
goran@M6800:~$ sudo dpkg --purge libopenblas-dev
and
goran@M6800:~$ sudo dpkg --purge libopenblas-base
which left me with
goran@M6800:~$ dpkg -l | grep blas
pi libblas-dev:amd64 3.7.1-3ubuntu2 amd64 Basic Linear Algebra
Subroutines 3, static library
ii libblas3:amd64 3.7.1-3ubuntu2 amd64 Basic Linear Algebra
Reference implementations, shared library
And now everything just works.

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.

|
| goran@M6800:~$ sudo apt install libblas-common
| [sudo] password for goran:
| Reading package lists... Done
| Building dependency tree
| Reading state information... Done
| E: Unable to locate package libblas-common

No that would not be right.
To recap: you have an issue on 17.10 only, and the R is self-built or the one
installable as binary via CRAN?
Dirk
