Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade an installation of RStudio Server 1.1 on Ubuntu 18.04. The recommended installation method with gdebi fails as follows:
will@glasshouse:~$ wget https://download2.rstudio.org/server/bionic/amd64/rstudio-server-1.2.5001-amd64.deb

This package is uninstallable
Cannot install 'libclang-dev'
Chasing down the dependency issues reveals that libclang-dev ultimately depends on libc6-i386, while other software depends on libc6-amd64:i386, and these two conflict (which according this Debian bug is expected behavior):
will@glasshouse:~$ sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 libc6-amd64:i386
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
libc6-amd64:i386 is already the newest version (2.27-3ubuntu1).
libc6-amd64:i386 set to manually installed.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-amd64:i386 : Conflicts: libc6-i386 but 2.27-3ubuntu1 is to be installed
libc6-i386 : Conflicts: libc6-amd64:i386 but 2.27-3ubuntu1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
apt-get offers to fix the dependency mess by uninstalling libc6-amd64:i386, but that seems certain to break something important.
Is there a known way out of this situation, like a build of RStudio against the other libc6 package? Or should I just use Docker?
Thanks!
