Dear Kenneth,

this was the crucial hint!
calling R by: rgui.exe --internet2
then after the R prompt:

updating HTML package descriptions
There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50)
> warnings()
Warning messages:
1: DESCRIPTION file of package ADAPT missing or broken in:
package.description(p, lib = lib, fields = c("Version", "Priority",   ...
2: DESCRIPTION file of package AGCE missing or broken in:

3: DESCRIPTION file of package AKIMA missing or broken in:
package.description(p, lib = lib, fields = c("Version", "Priority",   ...
...

I got pretty more of this warning messages, what does this mean?
Is my system not able to update this libraries?
Can I reconfigure update.packages that it also updates Jim Lindsey's
(http://alpha.luc.ac.be/~lucp0753/rcode) libraries?

Thanks and kind regards,

Dominik
