Or this could be related to the earlier messages about packages on the server not loading into the list for download from the CRAN mirrors?

Given that it hadn't been updated for a couple of weeks on Weds, you may just need to be patient. But in any case, only Simon can fix this as only he has sufficient access to the package builder. So reporting to Simon is always going to be the most effective way forward for similar problems. Perhaps this can encourage people to test 2.15.0 beta? Its binary package repository does have a populated PACKAGES file. > > -- >>> Federico C. F.
