  • sudo apt --fix-broken install suddenly doesn't work, kindly look into it. Preview 1.2.747 doesn't install in Ubuntu 16.04

  • You must be careful to check whether a downloaded .deb package is suited for your distribution. If not, then you risk breaking your package management system. If you want to play it safe, only install software from the Ubuntu software sources.

  • It seems that your repositories are wrong. Please add the output of apt-cache policy r-base-dev libc6 libc6-i386. Also post full output of sudo apt update and grep ^deb -r /etc/apt/ --include=*.list (if long use pastebin).

that time using Ubuntu 18.04LTS with KDE plasma (might probably compatible issue), but now using Kubuntu 20.04LST, installed...

# update indices
apt update -qq

# install two helper packages we need
apt install --no-install-recommends software-properties-common dirmngr

# import the signing key (by Michael Rutter) for these repo
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E298A3A825C0D65DFD57CBB651716619E084DAB9

# add the R 4.0 repo from CRAN -- adjust 'focal' to 'groovy' or 'bionic' as needed
add-apt-repository "deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs)-cran40/"

At first I would recommend to install all updates to the system, remove packages marked for automatic removal using

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

Then install the R package by

sudo apt-get install --reinstall r-base-dev

Then you should know that RStudio provides correctly build deb-package for supported Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver), you can install it with

cd ~/Downloads
wget -c https://download1.rstudio.org/desktop/bionic/amd64/rstudio-1.4.1717-amd64.deb

sudo apt-get install ./rstudio-1.4.1717-amd64.deb
