Dependency issues when installing RStudio on Ubuntu 22.04

[spinystellate]

I just upgraded my Ubuntu distribution and get the following error when trying to install RStudio:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of rstudio:
 rstudio depends on libssl-dev; however:
  Package libssl-dev is not installed.
 rstudio depends on libclang-dev; however:
  Package libclang-dev is not installed.
 rstudio depends on libpq5; however:
  Package libpq5 is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package rstudio (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

I saw this topic:

Dependency error when installing RStudio on Ubuntu 22.04 with libssl.

I am trying to install RStudio on Ubuntu 22.04. I currently have R 4.1.2 installed on it. I use the following command as superuser to install RStudio: gdebi rstudio-2022.02.1-461-amd64.deb When I try installing, I get this error message: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Reading state information... Done This package is uninstallable Dependency is not satisfiable: libssl1.0.0|libssl1.0.2|libssl1.1 I currently have libssl3 installed (3.0.2-ubuntu1). I cannot find any candidates using apt-cache search libssl1. I've looked up others' attempts on Stackoverflow here, but to no avail: Installing R Studio on Ubuntu 22.04 - Stack O…

and tried using the latest daily build, but get dependency issues with that as well (and my attempts to manually fix the dependencies failed). Has anyone else experienced this issue recently and found a solution?

Thanks for any help!

The latest stable release is 2022.07.2 Build 576, and I have that working without dependency issues introduced by Ubuntu 22.04 with simply download and eddy

Thanks for your quick reply.

I get the following error with that release:

and when I try to install libssl-dev I get:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 rstudio : Depends: libclang-dev but it is not installable
           Depends: libpq5 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Those weren’t errors I saw. Did you try

@spinystellate

apt --fix-broken install

Trying that got me closer; I think the main issue was that I didn't have all Software Sources enabled in Ubuntu Software after upgrading to 22.04. Thanks again for your help
