I found this question where it is explained how to remove a borken package using Syanptic.

I tried this solution, but when I find the borken package I can't remove it.

enter image description here

Here, when I right-click the package, only "Unmark" option is available, the "Remove" is shaded and can't click it. Same for any other option but Unmark.

Also, I came to this situation when used the "Mark to install", otherwise the Broken dependencies are not even shown because there is none.

How could I remove the broken package so I can finally install it?

When I try to use sudo apt-get install r-base I got the following error:

Los siguientes paquetes tienen dependencias incumplidas:
 r-base : Depende: r-base-core (>= 3.3.3-1xenial0) pero no va a instalarse
          Depende: r-recommended (= 3.3.3-1xenial0) pero no va a instalarse
          Recomienda: r-base-html pero no va a instalarse
E: No se pudieron corregir los problemas, usted ha retenido paquetes rotos.

Maybe somewhere there is the problem?

In the end it happened that I was using Ubuntu 14.04 but following instructions for Ubuntu 16.04.

After finding and following the correct instructions it had been solved.

Instructions followed: 16.04: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-r-on-ubuntu-16-04-2 14.04: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-r-on-ubuntu-14-04
