Could you please copy/paste your /etc/apt/sources.list file here? I
guess what you wrote above is a typo, but it's also wrong -- it would
be easier for us to help you that way, I reckon.

You could likely just install it yourself via a call to
`install.packages('spam')`
I reckon you will probably need to `sudo apt-get install r-base-dev`
since it seems (I didn't d/l the package to check) that you'll have to
compile fortran/c code.
Which means you'll also need gcc/gfortran installed.

That would be the author of the package.
