[R-sig-Debian] r-base-dev not installing in Ubuntu 16.04

[Syed Murtuza baker]

Hello All,
When I try to install r-base-dev on my Ubuntu 16.04 it gives me the following error

r-base-dev : Depends: dh-r but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I added the following two repos

deb https://mirrors.ebi.ac.uk/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu xenial-cran35
deb http://uk-mirrors.evowise.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe

but still giving error. Could you please suggest me how to fix it.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Syed
