“您拿着破损的包装”在尝试安装R时

我知道这个问题已经被问到了，但是发布的所有答案都无法帮助解决我的问题。我在Ubuntu 14.04上尝试了以下命令：

sudo apt-get install r-base-core

我得到：

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 r-base-core : Depends: libtiff4 but it is not installable
               Recommends: r-recommended but it is not going to be installed
               Recommends: r-base-dev but it is not going to be installed
               Recommends: r-doc-html but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

我也有能力尝试过：

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 r-base-core : Depends: libtiff4 which is a virtual package.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

非常感谢Wilf回答您的问题。但是其他人在R邮件列表上给了我答案，运行以下命令：

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev

帮助我解决了我的问题！

Depends: libtiff4 but it is not installable

该问题似乎是由于该libtiff4软件包不适用于Ubuntu 14.04

因此，可能的解决方法是从此处或此处下载最新的受支持版本Saucy的版本：

对于i386：

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/tiff3/libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
dpkg -i libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_i386.deb

对于amd64：

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/tiff3/libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb

然后，您也许可以安装r-base-core-如果默认的Ubuntu软件仓库中提供了此软件包，则可能要提交一个错误报告，指出它没有必需的依赖性。

编辑：您要安装哪个版本？这里的版本显然取决于libtiff5可用的版本...

这有帮助！

解决此问题的另一种方法是：从https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/xenial-cran35/下载.deb格式的所需R软件/软件包，并通过Ubuntu Software安装。
