John, If you are using Ubuntu, don't mix the Debian repositories with Ubuntu ones, it has the chance to create issues. The simplest thing to do is to remove the line from sources.list that you added with that ends with squeeze-cran. Then run the following command, which will add my R PPA from launchpad: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter This is the PPA that feeds the CRAN mirrors. Then run sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade And the latest versions of R should be installed.
