R examples fail to build on myBinder

[gjhltn]

The examples at https://github.com/binder-examples/r all fail for me with the error

debconf:%20delaying%20package%20configuration,%0Asince%20apt-utils%20is%20not%20installed

Step to reproduce:

• open https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/binder-examples/r/master?urlpath=shiny/bus-dashboard/

Following. I get something like this:

I can confirm I also get the same error.

FWIW, changing the contents of runtime.txt to R-4.3 (i.e. removing the rest of the version specifier after the X.Y component) seems to resolve this specific error. However, I'm still getting a 404 when trying to access the ...?urlpath=shiny/bus-dashboard or ...?urlpath=shiny URLs.

EDIT the possible workaround mentioned above doesn't seem to be working after all. The Binder/repo2docker build doesn't fail at that command; however, once the default JupyterLab interface starts up, none of the R launchers are shown:

I believe this would also explain why, using my supposed "workaround", the ?urlpath=shiny, etc endpoints don't work.

(For reference, this is how the same page for a different Binder repo containing R files looks like)

EDIT 2 Adding the micro version (i.e. 4.3.2-2024-01-10 instead of 4.3-2024-01-10) seems to work. I've opened #42 with this minimal possible fix.
