So you can try commenting again the sources that are failing, R should 
be in universe (and --allow-unauthenticated should not be necessary for 
that).

If you still have problems please take it offline, these are already 
Ubuntu/Debain topics, not R (you can also try ubuntu-users). Some 
documentation is here:
