[R] outdated PACKAGES in CRAN

I just installed the new R 0.65.1
The fonctionnality to upgrade and install packages is a very great idea.

But the file PACKAGES at http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at:80/R/src/contrib/
is outdated : 3 of the 4 packages i try to install failed with a 404 not found :
the package version  are newer than the entry in the PACKAGES file :
survival4 survival4_1.4-0.tar.gz Version: 1.1-0
rpart rpart_1.0-7.tar.gz  Version: 1.0-6

But it's really a great idea.
Another remark, the package installed  with R core, and old packages have no
versionning number :

installed.packages()
 [1,] "addreg"    "/usr/local/lib/R/library" "NA"   
 [2,] "base"      "/usr/local/lib/R/library" "NA"   
 [3,] "bootstrap" "/usr/local/lib/R/library" "NA" 
...

Thanks for R.
