Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
r-base : Depends: r-recommended (= 3.1.2-1trusty0) but 3.2.3-6trusty0 is to
be installed
Recommends: r-base-html but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: r-doc-html but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

In my apt/sources I have the line
deb http://cran.fhcrc.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ trusty/
Any ideas?

Jordan,
I believe if you are going to install an older version or R, you need to
specify that all the old packages need to be installed. I would
recommend pinning the all the r-base related packages that you need.
Here is a link with information on pinning:
