lib32gcc-s1 unmet dependencies libc6-i386 (>= 2.2.4) lib32gcc-s1 depends but not going to be installed

Fatal error: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
lib32gcc-s1: Depends: libc6-i386 (>= 2.2.4) but it is not going to be installed

The error message you have posted references a problem with a system library dependency, Can you explain in which manner is this R related? Are you trying to install an R package that asks for these system libraries?

Hello, andresrcs,
Thank you.

I have R base successfully installed. I want to modify a lengthy R program.
I used RStudio in the past, and I had no trouble installing it under KDE Neon (based on Ubuntu linux). Until now when I am doing a fresh install after several years.
The dependency problems all have to do with 32 bit libraries on a 64 bit system

Using the Muon Package Manager I am unable to install the 32 bit libraries.
I am looking in the forum.ked.org and kubuntu forums and doing google searches.
I suspect the problem has its root in changes on the Linux side, not the RStudio side, but maybe someone here knows the secret.

So far I have not found a solution though I have seen people struggling with similar issues.

Here is the full set of messages when I tried to install rstudio-1.4.1717-amd64.deb. (Also I run into the same issues trying to install rstudio-1.3.959-amd64.deb.)
