I can't tell what you did wrong as I can't see your setup -- and your email is not really readable on my screen (next time please try text mode if you can).
Bionic beaver works for other people, see eg this blog post, support slides and (primarily) video http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2019/06/09#022_rocker_and_ppas http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/papers/r4_rocker_and_ppas.pdf https://youtu.be/qIjWirNma-8 which shows how to install all of tidyverse and rstan, respectively, with one commands thanks to the Rutter PPAs and Ubuntu 18.04 -- Bionic Beaver. See below [1] for a quick demo using the same Docker container. Note that it also does 'apt-get update' -- maybe you just miss that. You can see the container setup here https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker/blob/master/r-ubuntu/Dockerfile which should make all this reproducible for you.
