Yes: I'm currently on LMDE UP5, those packages are LMDE UP6, I
don't want to upgrade this box until I get my spare box updated.

alas, no fix:

$ sudo rm /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/* /var/lib/apt/lists/* ; sudo apt-get update
...
$ sudo aptitude install r-base r-base-core r-recommended r-base-dev
...
E: Failed to fetch http://mirrors.nics.utk.edu/cran/bin/linux/debian/squeeze-cran/r-base-core_2.15.2-1~squeezecran.0_amd64.deb: Hash Sum mismatch
