3.4 install failure, can not uninstall MKL

cReedHranac commented 7 years ago

I have been attempting to install the 3.4.0 on my Ubuntu 16.04 system and am having errors mainly tracing back to the MKL package it appears. I can not uninstall as described in the documentation https://mran.microsoft.com/documents/rro/installation/#tab-X1jJ9Wh74-1 , and attempted the piece-wise uninstall like described in #10 and it seems similar to #21 . I can not find a way to uninstall. Any suggestions?

The MKL log reads: Selecting previously unselected package microsoft-r-open-mkl-3.4. (Reading database ... 230227 files and directories currently installed.)
