I assume it's the same when you try install.packages("RSQLite")? Do you have an outdated compiler? (Check with gcc --version in a terminal.

Can you check install.packages('openssl')? I think that's the culprit. If it fails, please post the complete error message.

I have downloaded openssl from https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/openssl/index.html and installed it with this command : install.packages("/home/barjaste/openssl_0.9.4.tgz",repos=NULL,source="type") Installing package into '/home/barjaste/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.2' (as 'lib' is unspecified) * installing binary package 'openssl' ... * DONE (openssl)

It sounds that the problem is for bioconductor packages not for CRAN packages.

Why do you manually download the package and install it then? Just run install.packages('openssl') in R terminal... Could you try with installing libssl-dev first: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

after selection, it says Selection: 1 Warning: unable to access index for repository https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib: unsupported URL scheme Warning message: package 'openssl' is not available (for R version 3.2.3)

When i tried for the second time, it says:
