Unable to install any package after upgrading to R 4.1.1

General

Hi, I am a fairly new user, I have a problem installing any package in RStudio, I had already had RStudio in a previous version in Ubuntu, what I did was to uninstall this version and install the latest, now I can not install any package, I have already looked at changing the mirrors but it still does not work. Here is attached what RStudio generates.

Installing package into ‘/home/edgardo/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.1’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependencies ‘broom’, ‘dbplyr’, ‘dtplyr’, ‘googlesheets4’, ‘haven’, ‘modelr’, ‘readr’, ‘rvest’, ‘tidyr’

Then this keeps repeating for a long time, but it never ends.

This is confusing, you are saying you can't install any package but the console output you are showing says the opposite, you have already installed a lot of packages and you only have problems with one (readr package), and the error message even tells you what to do.

Can you please clarify?

After removing '/home/edgardo/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.1/00LOCK-readr' the problem was solved, that address was the one that was causing conflict to install packages. Thank you very much.
