awesome, merci Dirk! and my apologies for not scrolling down better, I failed to see that the 18.04 update was linked to the R 3.5 issue .
Further, please forgive my impatience, but I was very curious to see if the package tidyverse could be installed: I have the impression that it is short of being installed, missing just a few simple packages (with no apparent non-R dependencies). Indeed, a first naive look shows following unavailable dependencies for tidyverse: ## missing for tidyverse: modelr (ok!?) reprex: -callr -debugme -covr -rex (ok!?) -rmarkdown (ok!?) rvest: selectr (ok!?) I hope that these package could be considered in a near future Michael?
