Steve, The list r-sig-debian is a more appropriate forum for this question as it is dedicated to R on Debian / Ubuntu.

Ie why did install.packages fail? What happens when you down the source .tar.gz and try sudo R CMD INSTALL randomForest_*.tar.gz instead? Many of us happily run and install numerous packages from CRAN on Debian and/or Ubuntu and I am sure we can help out, but it would be best if you came over to r-sig-debian (and you need to subscribe first).
