1)  Clean up sources.list as suggested in the error messages you quoted.

2) Do that until 'sudo apt-get update' no longer complains.

3) Then re-read the README at https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/
   and add one line.  I have this __one line__ in the directory meant for this:

      edd at bud:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cran.list
      deb https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/ubuntu xenial/ # disabled on upgrade to xenial
      edd at bud:~$ 

   and I have been using the CRAN repos maintained by Michael for years on
   multiple machines.  It. Just. Works.
