Hi,
I am trying to install a simple package like "car".
The errors occur in the second half of the protocol below and are of the form
"ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘stringi’" with varying package names.
I do have no clue what this is about and what to do about it.
Similar error sequences occur when I tried to install other packages as well.
I do use Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS.
Any help would be welcome! 
Best,
