You have forgotten some quotation marks; if you don't enclose ellipse in 
quotes, R thinks you are passing a variable name rather than a character 
string, which is what install.packages2 expects. From the help page:

Arguments:

repEntry: A ReposEntry object specifying a particular repository

     pkgs: A character vector of package name(s) to act upon
