Re: [R] R installation Ubuntu 10.04 missing dependency
Hi John, Is the subject line of your question correct? Ubuntu 10.04? If that is not a typo, that could be contributing to your problem. I believe that the current stable release of Ubuntu is 18.04. According to the following link ubuntu 10.04 was released almost 10 years ago and was "retired" about 5 years ago. http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2015/03/18/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-reaches-end-of-life-on-april-30-2015/ HTH, Eric On Sun, Mar 3, 2019 at 7:10 AM John Kane wrote: > To upgrade to R.3.5.2 from 3.4.4 I have been following the > instructions at > > https://www.r-bloggers.com/installation-of-r-3-5-on-ubuntu-18-04-lts-and-tips-for-spatial-packages/ > . > > I seem to have the repository properly connected and verified. > > I am getting an error: > > --- > john@jonh-T510:~$ sudo apt install r-base r-base-core r-recommended > Reading package lists...

[R] R installation Ubuntu 10.04 missing dependency
To upgrade to R.3.5.2 from 3.4.4 I have been following the instructions at https://www.r-bloggers.com/installation-of-r-3-5-on-ubuntu-18-04-lts-and-tips-for-spatial-packages/ . I seem to have the repository properly connected and verified. I am getting an error: --- john@jonh-T510:~$ sudo apt install r-base r-base-core r-recommended Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: r-base-core : Depends: libreadline6 (>= 6.0) but it is not installable Recommends: r-base-dev but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. - Earlier I was getting another error r-base-core : Depends: libpng12-0 but it is not installable but that was cured by installing libpng12-0 via the Ubuntu Software app. I cannot find what appears to be an installable version of libreadlines6. Ubuntu reports that the up-to-date version of libreadlines7. Should I consider this an R issue or an Ubuntu issue? In any case, has anyone encountered the problem and beaten it?

Re: [R] R for Ubuntu 10.04?
Hi Jeff, Thanks for elucidating and suggestions, I realized I should email the debian mailing list right after I posted here in 'help', sorry for that, then I did get quick response on that mailing list, they told me the distro for Ubuntu 10.04 will be released in couple days, right now, I could upgrade my R to 2.11 and then upgrade my system to Lucid. Thanks again for your suggestions!
