Resolving R Installation Issues with Different libcurl4 Flavors.

This is not a problem that needs to be solved through conversation. The provided “problem” appears to be a solution to an issue with installing R on different systems.

However, I can provide a summary of the steps taken to resolve the issue:

  1. The author experienced issues installing R and using HTTPS package mirrors due to differences in library versions.
  2. They discovered that the problem was related to different libcurl4 flavors being used as build dependencies.
  3. The author purged libcurl4-nss-dev from the problematic system and installed libcurl4-gnutls-dev.
  4. After making sure all necessary dependencies were up-to-date, they re-ran the R build script.

If you have any specific questions about these steps or would like more information on installing R or using HTTPS package mirrors, feel free to ask!
