[R] no package 'Matrix' at the repositories

[Doran, Harold]

I don't have an answer, but also want to point out that whenever I try
and download the pdf documentation associated with a package, my Acrobat
opens but tells me the file is corrupted.  I did this for a random
selection of packages and the same problem seems to reoccur. I'm not
sure if this is just me or something on CRAN

Subject: [R] no package 'Matrix' at the repositories

	  Yesterday, I installed R2.2.0 for Windows [Version 2.2.0
(2005-10-06 r35749)].  Unfortunately, 'install.packages("Matrix")'
produced the following message:

Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available =
available,  :
          no package 'Matrix' at the repositories

	  I installed lme4, maps, mapproj, CircStats, scatterplot3d,
gregmisc, Hmisc without problems.  To confirm, 'library(lme4)' produced
the following error:

Error: package 'Matrix' required by 'lme4' could not be found

	  What do you suggest?

p.s.  I get the same result using several different (US) mirrors.
