I am trying to upgrade R 3.2.3-4 on Linux mint to at least version 3.4.4 (or any available there after).

Sadly, I'm struggling, and all Google efforts have failed.

I have repeated the same process several times using different locations, all have failed. My latest in /etc/apt/sources.list for R is:

deb https://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/ precise/

executing sudo apt-get update yields the error:

Err:13 https://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R precise/ Packages
  404  Not Found

A sudo-apt get install r-base failed to update the current version.

I've tried several mirrored sites and they all return a 404.

Any ideas?

    404 error normally tells us you the website is not available, maybe try it again after a while again. Also did you check [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46214061/how-to-upgrade-r-in-linux)? – mischva11 Aug 13 '18 at 00:08

    [Visit this URL](https://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/bin/linux/ubuntu/), you'll see the `precise` repository does not exist at that location. Try using one of the repositories that does exist. – neilfws Aug 13 '18 at 00:57

    Precise had it's end of life in 2017. What version of mint are you using? – Dason Aug 13 '18 at 00:58
