unique package names
install deb dependencies of rmarkdown if available
when apt-get install fails, re-run it with stdout to see what is going on

add more broken packages in PPA
add some packages that fail to install, and output to stdout for them
some packages are time-consuming, so enable stdout to avoid travis timeouts
tweak error message
arrange packages in the build matrix alphabetically

add more packages that failed to install for unknown reasons
