Can't install.packages() from local repo in 2.15.2

Your subject line isn't truthful.  At the very least you are talking 
about binary packages on Windows using a file:// repository ('local' 
does not usually mean that, and is specified by NULL).

I think you have not understood the NEWS item: most likely you do not 
have a parallel source repository.

     * For a Windows or Mac OS X binary package install,
       install.packages() will check if a source package is available on
       the same repositories, and report if it is a later version or
       there is a source package but no binary package available.

       This check can be suppressed: see the help page.

I guess you did not do so.  Try
options(install.packages.check.source = FALSE)
which works for me.

You could also specify contriburl, as you have a partial repository.
