In the meantime you can try to not install 'r-base' but just 'r-base-core' in order avoid r-recommended. Or you could try to manually inject it from my ppa. or even add that PPA for a day or two: https://launchpad.net/~edd/+archive/ubuntu/r-4.0 This PPA should probably not be used instead of the CRAN mirrored one run by Michael but may help you in this current situation.
