This thread from @pineapple explains a previous issue where the user was unable to install R 3.5.0 in Ubuntu 18.04 using the following process:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://cloud.r-project.org/ bionic-backports main restricted universe"
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
Pineapple added an update to the question stating, "UPDATE : The bug has been fixed by Michael Rutter and his Debian team. A big thanks to everyone involved.".
When I try and install R 3.5.0 on my Bionic Beaver box I get this string of errors after issuing the sudo apt-get update
command. Is the issue truly solved? How do I solve it?
