If you installed it from the ppa suggested by andrey, remove it with

sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:marutter/rrutter

(Then) update your data:

sudo apt update

and then install it from the default

sudo apt install r-cran-rjags

Test it in R.

R

In R:

>library(rjags)
# Loading required package: coda
# Linked to JAGS 4.2.0
# Loaded modules: basemod,bugs

(probably redundant, just for SEO^^:) Works also for Linux Mint
