[R-sig-Debian] Problem with Install R on Linux Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus

[Atakan Okan]

Don't know why but I was able to install R & Rstudio without any problems in Ubuntu 14.04 with the same dual-boot setup.

No.



User error (with apt-config files) is orthogonal to release quality.



And FWIW some people seem to be quite positive on 16.04:
