^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Is there a reason for not
upgrading all those
packages?

First, happens when you do "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade"
Just a wild stab in the dark, is bzip2 installed :)
(apt-cache policy bzip2)
There are also plenty of hits on google for:
W: Failed to fetch bzip2: Hash Sum mismatch
This link (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/6841) suggests:
rm /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin
rm /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin
These should be regenerated with an apt-get update command.
And you are only having trouble with the CRAN repositories?
