How to install a libc6 version >= 2.29?

When I type

sudo apt-get install r-base-core

I get the following error

The following packages have unmet dependencies. r-base-core : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.29) but 2.27-3ubuntu1 is to be installed

Now libc6 as far as I understand is an important library which should not be removed.

So how to upgrade from the current version (2.27) to any version >= 2.29?

To my knowledge, libc6 2.29 is the latest version. And it is available for Ubuntu 19.04 (link).

If you want to install libc6 amd64, open this link to download it, then open the download folder in the terminal and run sudo dpkg -i libc6_2.29-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb

If you want to install libc6 i386, you can download it from this link, then open the download folder in the terminal and run sudo dpkg -i libc6_2.29-0ubuntu2_i386.deb

Don't do it. Here I'll leave an image of how dependent are your software packages on libc6 compiled for that specific library!!! https://sites.google.com/view/dependency-netwok/ There you'll see a star shaped network and the node at the center (green colored) represents libc6.

I suggest two possible solutions to your problem:

1. Add a compatible repository

Since it is r-base-core what you want, change the repository to a compatible one for your specific distribution.

for example: deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/

In your /etc/apt/sources.list file. By using you will be automatically be redirected to a nearby CRAN mirror. See https://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html for the current list of CRAN mirrors.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install r-base

sudo apt-get install r-recommended

2. Upgrade

Another solution would be to upgrade your entire distribution to a more recent and compatible with what you want.
