Today my Update Manager in Ubuntu 12.04. updated R to the latest version called "R version 3.1.0 beta (2014-03-28 r65330) -- "Spring Dance""

I had a lot of trouble after the upgrade and I needed to manually downgrade the R-Core again as described here

Is there a way to avoid upgrades to beta versions?

Probably the best one is not to use PPAs. I have no custom PPA so I have this candidate for installation:

$ sudo apt-cache policy r-base
r-base:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.0.1-3ubuntu1
  Version table:
     3.0.1-3ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/universe amd64 Packages

Once you have the PPA you should purge it

sudo ppa-purge ppa:yourppa/ppa

This will revert the software automatically to the default version available in universe.
