What to do if RWekajars package installation gets stuck on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS?

Question

I am trying to install the RWekajars package on Linux Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS, but the installation is getting stuck at the moment described below. It seems to be processing something, but it does not display an error. I have already successfully installed rJava, as well as several other packages. How can I solve this problem? I need to install the package, but it is not progressing.

I have already successfully run the command "R CMD javareconf"

What could be happening?

Try to reinstall rJava - I had the same issue and reinstalling from rforge solved it for me

R -e "install.packages('rJava', repos='https://rforge.net')"
R CMD javareconf
R -e "install.packages('RWeka', type = 'source')"
