R install fails on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (via WSL) - Dependency is not satisfiable: libtiff5

I am new to running linux via Windows System for Linux so I am not sure how to problem solve this. I am trying to install R.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgradesudo apt install gdebi-coreexport R_VERSION=4.5.1curl -O https://cdn.rstudio.com/r/ubuntu-2204/pkgs/r-${R_VERSION}_1_amd64.debsudo gdebi r-${R_VERSION}_1_amd64.deb

The error returned is:

/usr/bin/gdebi:113: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\S'  c = findall("[[(](\S+)/\S+[])]", msg)[0].lower()Reading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree... DoneReading state information... DoneReading state information... DoneThis package is uninstallableDependency is not satisfiable: libtiff5

However libtiff5 is clearly already installed

$ sudo apt install -y libtiff5-devReading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree... DoneReading state information... Donelibtiff5-dev is already the newest version (4.5.1+git230720-4ubuntu2.2).0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Any guidance is appreciated,
