I suppose I got the Depends: wrong once again. But you can safely install r-base-core from unstable, it is a few weeks old and installs and runs fine on testing: $ sudo apt-get -t unstable r-base-core and likewise for other package from the r-base source such as r-base-dev or r-mathlib. Unfortunately, I cannot get the current foreign out of testing, and we no longer have R 2.5.1 to build against. So you'll need to wait, or upgrade as indicated above.
