[R-sig-Debian] Install R on Ubuntu with libcurl support

[Michael Coyne]

Hello,

I'm install R from a package off of
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/. The install works fine
but it does not support libcurl as indicated by executing
"capabilities('libcurl')". As such, I cannot install packages from
HTTPS sources.

How can I install R from a package with libcurl support? Is this
possible or do I need to manually build R from source and compile it
with libcurl support directly.

Thanks for any help!
