   It looks like 4.5 is being installed in the R Dockerfile, likely due to a change on CRAN's side on April 15th.

   Temporary workaround to install older version of R (4.4.0) on noble, which could replace https://github.com/databricks/containers/blob/master/ubuntu/R/Dockerfile#L16-L31 if an older version is desired.

   # Install R 4.4.0 manually from noble-cran40 .deb archive
   WORKDIR /tmp/rdeb
   RUN wget https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/noble-cran40/r-base-core_4.4.0-2.2404.0_amd64.deb && \
     wget https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/noble-cran40/r-base-dev_4.4.0-2.2404.0_all.deb && \
     wget https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/noble-cran40/r-recommended_4.4.0-2.2404.0_all.deb && \
     dpkg -i *.deb || true && \
     apt-get -f install -y && \
     rm -rf /tmp/rdeb
