Problem with building the singularity container of the "r-text" environment - r-text

Question

I am using Ubuntu and the singularity command to build the "r-text" environment. But the terminal returned an error message.
+ apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends r-base=4.1.3* r-base-core=4.1.3* r-base-dev=4.1.3* r-recommended=4.1.3* r-base-html=4.1.3* r-doc-html=4.1.3* libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libcairo2-dev libxt-dev libopenblas-dev

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:
r-recommended : Depends: r-cran-cluster (>= 1.9.6-2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: r-cran-lattice (>= 0.10.11) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: r-cran-mgcv (>= 1.1.5) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: r-cran-nlme (>= 3.1.52) but it is not going to be installed

The singularity def file I am using is the following. It is the same as in the link. The only difference is I am trying to install "dplyr".

I have tried. Just wait for possible solutions.

I have used the following .def file to solve the issue.
