I wanted to install the new R version so I did a purge by removing all r-*. And then I broke everything unfortunately. I try to reinstall R project by typing




sudo apt install r-base r-base-core r-recommended




and then I obtain

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 to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies.

r-base-core : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.27) but 2.23-0ubuntu11 is to be
installed

Depends: libcurl4 (>= 7.28.0) but it is not installable

Depends: libicu60 (>= 60.1-1~) but it is not installable

Depends: libreadline7 (>= 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.




Does anyone know how to solve this ?



Thank you in advance !

  • You have held-broken packages. Fix this first (ie. try sudo apt -f install & explore anything it reports, I would fix those first). I'd also view the apt logs to see what you removed with your first listed command, and use that as a guide on fixing your system. I'd suggest closely avoiding using wildcards on remove commands unless you closely scrutinize what's being removed

  • A quick look at the 16.04 repo reveals that the versions of the lib dependencies that are attempting to be installed are not part of the standard 16.04 distribution so they're not available.
