[R-sig-Debian] Issues with Ubuntu 22.04 and Installing the Latest Version of R (R 4.4.1) to Docker Image

[Gerber, Lauren J]

Hi All,

I am building a Docker image that uses Ubuntu 22.04 and am having issues installing the latest version of R (R 4.4.1). The current R version is 4.1.2:
:/# apt-cache policy r-base-core
r-base-core:
  Installed: 4.1.2-1ubuntu2
  Candidate: 4.1.2-1ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 4.1.2-1ubuntu2 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I also checked the Ubuntu version (I am not sure if the ‘No LSB modules are available’ is an issue):
:/# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:            Ubuntu
Description:                 Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Release:  22.04
Codename:                  jammy

I have tried referring to these instructions listed here: https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/. Please see below:

When I’m in interactive mode in my Docker container and I try the first line of suggested code, it results in the following:
:/# apt update -qq
W: GPG error: https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu jammy-cran40/ InRelease: At least one invalid signature was encountered.
E: The repository 'https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu jammy-cran40/ InRelease' is not signed.
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security InRelease: At least one invalid signature was encountered.
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy InRelease: At least one invalid signature was encountered.
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates InRelease: At least one invalid signature was encountered.
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb jammy InRelease: At least one invalid signature was encountered.

I skipped that line and tried the next line:
:/# apt install --no-install-recommends software-properties-common dirmngr
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
dirmngr is already the newest version (2.2.27-3ubuntu2.1).
software-properties-common is already the newest version (0.99.22.9).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

Next, I did this:
:/# wget -qO- https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/marutter_pubkey.asc | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/cran_ubuntu_key.asc
                • This returned the public key.

Then, I checked this:
:/# gpg --show-keys /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/cran_ubuntu_key.asc
                • This showed that Michael Rutter’s key had been added (expiring 2027-09-30)

Then I ran this:
:/# add-apt-repository "deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu jammy-cran40/<https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu%20jammy-cran40/>"

Then, I tried this:

Need to get 9288 B of archives.
After this operation, 63.5 kB of additional disk space will be used.
E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/.

It seems there is an issue with Ubuntu 22.04 and the signature verification, as well as a space issue in /var/cache/apt/archives/.

I am not sure how to resolve these issues when building my Docker image.

Would you please advise?

Thank you.

Lauren
