Hi Dirk,
Thanks for the quick response.
I've updated the draft post following your suggestions, see the updated
version, in nice .md format, here:
https://github.com/geocompr/geocompr.github.io/blob/installing-on-linux/content/post/2020/installing-r-spatial-packages-linux.md
Any better? I think so! The key bit for eoan users is this:
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu
eoan-cran35/'
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys
E298A3A825C0D65DFD57CBB651716619E084DAB9
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/c2d4u3.5
sudo apt update
sudo apt install r-base-dev r-cran-sf r-cran-raster r-cran-tmap
Following your suggestion I have created a Dockerfile to test this:
https://github.com/Robinlovelace/geocompr/blob/master/docker/ubuntu-eoan/Dockerfile
(Taken with credit from your rocker project work.)
Unfortunately it fails with the following message:
Robin,
My suggestion would be to use the PPA for RRutter3.5 as opposed to the
CRAN repository. The PPA seeds CRAN, so the packages are the same, and
eliminates the key issue. Use:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter3.5
This is also release agnostic, so when you move to focal (20.04),
nothing needs to change.
Also, c2d4u doesn't exist for eoan. It only exists for LTS releases
(bionic, xenial, and fading carcass of trusty). I will be building
c2d4u for focal when that releases.

W: GPG error: https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu eoan-cran35/
InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public
key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 51716619E084DAB9

Any ideas? I've tried various combinations mentioned here but not luck
yet: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/#secure-apt
Regarding Fedora, didn't know that. Is this the message you're referring
to? https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/iucar/cran/
I will add that link to this section if so:

All the best,

pointing to eoan sounds fishy. 19.04 is "disco" IIRC.
I also *strongly* recommend you bullet-proof this by starting from a plain
ubuntu:$VERSION container and test it.

The cool kids all use a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ now look in
yours. The you can just copy and/or shell redirect.

I never remember if apt-add-repository works with this too.

And you could mention the Rutter PPA here -- another 4k binary packages!

https://github.com/geocompr/geocompr.github.io/blob/installing-on-linux/content/post/2020/installing-r-spatial-packages-linux.Rmd
We could/should also shout out to Fedora who now have a repo with all
(!!) of
CRAN (!!) as per a recent email by Inaki "somewhere" (r-devel?
r-pkg-devel?)

It's good. Sorry for not responding sooner. The raw Rmd was hard to read;
I
tend to just push .md to GitHub (when I have R-code free writeups like
this
which is almost all of them) as that is always rendered to read.
