OK, then you need to keep reading. Instead of simply installing R 4.0.0 you need to remove the packages depending on r-api-35 as detailed in https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/#debian-bullseye-testing The reason is that the backported r-cran-* packages have a lower version number than the r-cran-* packages in the Debian archive, but the packages in the Debian archive depend on r-api-35 while the new backport provides r- api-40. Also, you will need to rebuild all locally installed packages as detailed on the CRAN Debian page.
