At first I would recommend to install all updates to the system, remove packages marked for automatic removal using
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get autoremove --purge Then install the R package by
sudo apt-get install --reinstall r-base-dev Then you should know that RStudio provides correctly build deb-package for supported Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver), you can install it with
cd ~/Downloads wget -c sudo apt-get install ./rstudio-1.4.1717-amd64.deb
