Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 python-rpy2 : Depends: r-base-core (>= 3.1.2) but 3.0.2-1ubuntu1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  • 3.0.2-1ubuntu1 is to be installed indicates that you are using Ubuntu 14.04 and python-rpy2 depends on r-base-core 3.0.2-1ubuntu1 by default in Ubuntu 14.04, so you are probably trying to install or have installed a package that you're not supposed to install. That's why you got a "broken packages" error message. – karel Feb 22 '22 at 03:08

  • I tried using the links to help but I'm still not entirely sure how to download the newer kernel :/ –  Jun 23 '15 at 15:18
  • 3.0.2-1ubuntu1 is not the version of the kernel. It is the version of the r-base-core package in the default Ubuntu 14.04 repositories. – karel Feb 22 '22 at 02:57
