[R-sig-Debian] Cran instructions for adding mirrors

[Keith S Weintraub]

Folks,
I used the cran instructions for installing R on Linux Mint Maya (here: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/).

Things went well but I got the following error messages:

> ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR
> W:Failed to fetch http://cran.mirrors.hoobly.com/dists/raring-backports/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
> , W:Failed to fetch http://cran.mirrors.hoobly.com/dists/raring-backports/restricted/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
> , W:Failed to fetch http://cran.mirrors.hoobly.com/dists/raring-backports/universe/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
> , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.


Is there a problem with the "hoobly" mirror (PA), the instructions, Linux Mint Maya update manager or with me?

Here is my sources.list file:
