Hm, doesn't that third line make the heroic assumptions that there were a
non x86_64 repository? So I think the error below may be a side effect.
Just because you are getting armhf packages from some repositories does not
imply you get them from all, methinks. apt may happily look at the
binary:all packages which it could install, but then get sidelined by their
dependencies which it may not.

| The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
|
| Keep the following packages at their current version:
| 1) r-base [Not Installed]
| 2) r-base-dev [Not Installed]
| 3) r-cran-boot [Not Installed]
| 4) r-cran-codetools [Not Installed]
| 5) r-recommended [Not Installed]
|
| Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
| 6) r-base-core recommends r-recommended
| 7) r-base-core recommends r-base-dev
|
| I assume that I have some part of R 3.5.? stuck in the apt system from previously installing R from
| the default raspian repositories (stupid of me). There is nothing in /usr/lib/R (no directory) nor
| does /usr/bin/R exist and I have (in desperation: not something I remember doing often with Debian
| machines) even rebooted the machine but no change.
|
| I could wipe the machine and start over and not install R until after adding the buster line
| deb http://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian buster-cran40/
| to /etc/apt/sources.list and doing apt-get update
|
| However, I thought I'd check things out here first. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
