Ben,
Not sure why you have:
> r-base/unknown uptodate 2.11.1-2lucid0
You should have:
r-base/lucid uptodate 2.11.1-2lucid0
I think the first thing to do is remove R and then re-install.
sudo apt-get remove r-base r-base-dev
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
If that does not work, resend the what apt-show-versions and R.version
return.
Hope this helps,
Michael
