Go back and reread the description that Dirk mentioned.  He is
suggesting using the CRAN archive, not the Ubuntu archive.  Because of
the release schedules of R and Ubuntu, the Rpackages on the Ubuntu
archive are usually 9-15 months behind the releases on CRAN.

The Brazil mirrors for CRAN are listed at
http://cran.R-project.org/mirrors.html.  If you used the one in Rio
the line to add to sources.list would be

deb http://cran.fiocruz.br/bin/linux/ubuntu precise/
