It could simply be something else that is not R related. What happens when you do sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ie I'd like to start from a clean slate. You could well have something add odds here. After that, try just the main R package to see what Depends: are claiming to sudo apt-get install r-base-core and let us know what the errors are.
