That's actually a good debugging step:
- check if you can use r2u without bspm, ie try to run
     sudo apt install r-cran-digest
  or any other package with more depenendies
- if that works try to see why involving bspm does create an issue

As Ivan noted, it matters to re-enable bspm in /etc/R/Rprofile.site
