We probably need more info to help you.  

I presume you have CRAN and Debian testing in /etc/apt/sources.list?  Did
you try to use the apt configuration to give preference to one archive over
another, or exclude one, or ...  See some of the available apt documents,
e.g. from the apt-howto package, should help. Also, 'apt-cache policy
r-base-core' will tell how apt sees and ranks the archives you have set up.

The easiest will probably be to simply exclude, say, CRAN.
