bayesm package not downloading via any mirror or repository

OK still no luck, when, as you say it is clear that the package IS available.
It really doesn't seem to matter what mirror I use and they can't all be
down. I can install other packages such as LearnBayes, VCD etc with no
issues, so can't be blocked at my end.
My latest output:

install.packages("bayesm", dependencies=TRUE,
repos='http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bayesm/index.html')
Warning in install.packages("bayesm", dependencies = TRUE, repos =
"http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bayesm/index.html") :
        argument 'lib' is missing: using /usr/local/lib/R/site-library
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bayesm/index.html/src/contrib
dependency '?bayesm?' is not available
That is not the correct repository for CRAN!  Try
repos='http://cran.r-project.org"
# when I nominate a mirror via the interface (and believe me I've tried many
different ones!)
We don't know exactly what you did, though.  You could download the 
.tar.gz file and use repos=NULL.

I am having trouble downloading "bayesm", it won't do it all from any of
the
sites on the web, I resorted to this one,
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/math/r-cran-bayesm.
If you use install.packages() note that you are downloading a source
package from a CRAN mirror rather than from some debian mirror.

  and got slightly
further, but I think it is still not recognising a mirror. THis is my
error
message:

The package is certainly there.

It could be my version of linux, I know.

All I want to do is sample from a dirichlet prior, so I want rdirichlet
and
ddirichlet commands basically. If anyone can help or suggest an alternate
package that would be great.
