R Base installation not working

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and have tried to download R-base with the
following command:

sudo apt-get install r-base

and the following happens:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package r-base is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package r-base has no installation candidate

How do I get around this?
