Cannot install packages on Ubuntu 20

I have a R studio Server running on Ubuntu system. But it always fails when I try to install packages. Below is an example when I installed 'sf' package.

install.packages('sf')

also installing the dependencies ‘proxy’, ‘e1071’, ‘wk’, ‘classInt’, ‘magrittr’, ‘Rcpp’, ‘s2’, ‘units’
...
