Very small patch to packages.R
install.packages on an internal package repository that worked with 2.9

Problem:
available.packages(contriburl="http://url.to.my/repo";)
Error in f(res) : invalid subscript type 'list'
This occurred because the PACKAGES file had no dependency on R in the
Depends field on any of the packages. Got around it by adding "Depends: R
(>=2.7.0)" to the packages but it was still a regression from 2.9 behaviour.
Thanks. We already had a patch under way for this one, but it hadn't
made it into the code yet. (See the thread "Re: [Rd] error in
install.packages() (PR#14042)".) It has also led to some discussion of
changes to sapply, but those will be for 2.11.0, not R-patched.
