[R-sig-Debian] Problem with Ubuntu bionic R 3.5

[Ulrich Leuchtmann]

Hi Dirk.

I saw you installed a new release. Unfortunately the problem mentioned 
below does persist.

I know this is perhaps a minor issue, as users report they can install 
manually (see below). But under strict installation policies this can 
create an issue. Synaptic is refusing to install. The German error 
message is

"Die Änderungen konnten nicht angewendet werden! Bitte zuerst die 
Probleme mit defekten Paketen beheben."

In English this should read something like "The change could not be 
applied. Solve problems with broken packages first."

Regards

Uli
