Oh, Johannes is right, I didn't see that one. Forget about the pinning then
(well, it can be useful, but you probably don't need it. To give you an
idea: http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html).
apt-cache policy gives you the status of the package of interest. From
yours, it's clear that you didn't have the repository activated.

Jim,
I added this line to the sources.list file it's my closest mirror.
deb-src http://cran.wustl.edu/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/
In this line, change "deb-src" to "deb" and run
apt-get update
and
apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
You only activated the source package repository, but you only need the
repository of compiled packages, unless you use an architecture other than
i386 or amd64.
Kind regards,
Johannes
Ran apt-get update and then apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
No errors returned seemed to run clean.
Ran sessionInfo() from within R and it returns 2.11.1
Am I doing something wrong?
Do I need to take a different approach?
I have this link but I'm not sure of what I need off of it. If I do need to
pull something from it.

Thanks
For a backport of the latest R release to squeeze, simply add something
like
deb http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/
bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/
to the file /etc/apt/sources.list on your computer and install as
usual. Note that you need to substitute <favorite-cran-mirror> by one of
the
mirror URLs listed in
http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html
There are binaries for the i386 and amd64 architectures. You
can use the source packages from
deb-src http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/
to compile binaries for other platforms.
With an appropriate entry in /etc/apt/sources.list, the newest R release
can be
installed using a command sequence like
apt-get update
apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
