This one is on me.  When R 4.0 came out, I wrote scripts to rebuild all 
the r-cran-* packages, such as r-cran-sjplot, that the main Ubuntu 
repository supplies so that the upgrade to 4.0 is a painless as possible 
for users.  I also need to do this so as when I build packages for 
c2d4u, all the dependencies are satisfied.

It appears I missed this one, and since it hasn't been a dependency for 
any package I have built since, it didn't come to my attention.  It has 
been corrected an r-cran-sjplot can be installed on Focal.

Yes, sounds like a good project to tackle after the semester ends.
