[R] debian /etc/apt/sources.list for CRAN?

When I set up my debian linux (unstable) system, the only R debian 
packages were on CRAN, so I
followed directions and added the last line to my /etc/apt/sources.list

euclid: # m /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/non-US unstable/non-US main contrib 
non-free
deb http://hexamon.ccs.yorku.ca/ unixteam-debs/
deb http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian woody main

But now, when I try to update the local package cache I get errors (below).
Should I just delete the cran.r-project.org line
above, or are there debian R packages elsewhere on CRAN that I should 
include instead?
