executing:
apt install -y libcurl4 curl
removes the following packages:
Die folgenden Pakete wurden automatisch installiert und werden nicht mehr benötigt:
libblas-dev libblas3 libbz2-dev libjpeg-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev libjpeg8-dev liblapack-dev liblapack3 liblzma-dev libncurses5-dev
libreadline-dev libtinfo-dev r-cran-cluster r-doc-html
When I want to reinstall R then the system wants to remove libcurl4 (which is neccessary to install the lastest docker for what I know). What a vicious circle.
Anyone any advice?

Going through the various comments in the thread suggested in the comment above (link), there was a lot of aggressive approaches, however, one suggestion was to visit /etc/apt/sources.list and see if there is any rubish. I revisited my source.list and cleaned it up, somehow after last Ubuntu version upgrade it got messy. I made sure that the cran repository points to a mirror relevant for bionic version I got istalled and voila, it works. Cheers!
