[R-sig-Debian] updating R packages with r2u

[ravi]

 Hi Dirk,Really sorry for my mangling up the text format. Will try to take special care of this in future posts. 
I am now enclosing a text file separately with the same text. Have not used the github repo before. Will give it a try to learn about that as well. You can choose which forum you want to reply.Cheers, Ravi

Hi Ravi,

Can you try sending this again, preferably as a text (not html) email with a
little bit more attention played to formatting?  Empty lines between
paragraphs help. It is currently near impossible to read this.

If it is solely a r2u matter you could also open an issue at its github repo,
issues allow you to format in markdown and formated included output verbatim.

Many thanks, Dirk

| Hi,I am grateful for the help that I received in setting up r2u on my ubuntu system a while back. This is working fine. But I have some strange problem with r2u on another PC that, as far as I know, I installed in the the same way.
| Let me first show the results in Rstudio from the successfully working Ubuntu system:
| install.packages(c("broom", "curl", "data.table", "dbplyr", "dtplyr", "evaluate", "forcats", "gargle", "ggplot2", "googledrive", "googlesheets4", "haven", "hms", "igraph", "magrittr", "openssl", "pillar", "pracma", "purrr", "Radviz", "ragg", "Rcpp", "RcppArmadillo", "reformulas", "renv", "rmarkdown", "rvest", "stringr", "systemfonts", "textshaping", "tibble", "utf8", "vroom", "xfun", "xml2"))Install system packages...Reading package lists...

| Now, I will show the results from the Ubuntu system that appears to work OK, but does not download anything:install.packages(c("broom", "forcats", "hms", "magrittr", "openssl", "pillar", "rmarkdown", "vroom"))Install system packages...Reading package lists...

| "Fetched 0 B" ? What can be the reason? The only differences that I can see from the two versions are the following two lines in the latter:Hit http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-security InRelease
| Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-backports InRelease
| 
| The .libPaths for the latter are :> .libPaths()[1] "/home/ravi/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.5" "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library" "/usr/lib/R/site-library"[4] "/usr/lib/R/library"
| I don't have a problem with updating and installing ubuntu for the latter. The problem appears to only with r2u.
| Is this a known problem? Please let me know if any additional information is needed for troubleshooting.Thanks.Ravi
