Why did you use -t unstable? The distribution on CRAN for lenny is called lenny-cran, not unstable.
Because that's what it said to do at

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian



Anyway, tagging should not be necessary. What does

apt-cache policy r-base-core

tell you? It should list both R 2.7.1 from lenny and R 2.11.0 from lenny-cran.

% apt-cache policy r-base-core
r-base-core:
 Installed: 2.7.1-1+lenny1
 Candidate: 2.7.1-1+lenny1
 Version table:
    2.11.0-2 0
       200 http://debian.yorku.ca testing/main Packages
    2.11.0-1~lennycran.0 0
       500 http://cran.R-project.org lenny-cran/ Packages
*** 2.7.1-1+lenny1 0
       900 http://debian.yorku.ca stable/main Packages
       100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

So, does this mean I should do

apt-get -t lenny-cran install r-base r-base-dev

(If the instructions on http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian
are out of date, maybe someone should correct them.)
