With a little patience, yes... (The R-2.0.0-patched tarballs are made
daily, and it's just a few hours since Brian committed his fix).

Or, in a pinch, just get the fixed file directly from the repository:

https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-2-0-patches/src/library/tools/R/admin.R

(In principle, that gives you a version of R that claims to be 2.0.0
in spite of being altered, but for a tiny change like this I don't
think it matters.)
