Standard answers:

1) Is your version of R up to date?
2) Is the package version up to date?
3) Contact the package maintainer.

BTW, I believe that list etiquette is to provide your real name.

Hi,

Many thanks! I was able to install other packages so I will contact the package
maintainer if I can figure out who he is. Any clues?

I use this Yahoo! e-mail address as a junk e-mail address since the archives
contain the complete e-mail address (no anti-spam measures taken) so I do not
include my real name.

It would be nice if the R-archivers stripped e-mail addresses from posters (or
messed it up) so that spider programs would not be able to get it.

Many thanks and best wishes,
GT

  [there are many different archives and some do some anti-spam measures..
   to strip or obfuscate e-mail addresses before mail is sent
   out, is really not an option!]

  (yes, but *all* of them would have to do it; and do it so
   smartly that smart address collecting software cannot
   regenerate it; ... )

and you still don't tell us who you are!

Bert's remark was very much on point:  Using a yahoo or gmail or
... e-mail address is one thing; but then we'd expect at least a
full name (and often affiliation) as "signature".
It not only netiquette, it's real life etiquette to not send
anonymous letters....
