[BioC] can't instal MetaData package "mouse4302"

[Gordon Smyth]

I'm trying to update my copy of the 'mouse4302' annotation package. I have 
version 1.6.5, in the recent past version 1.6.8 was available, now I can't 
seem to get the package at all. I think the package used to be listed on 
the page http://www.bioconductor.org/data/metaData.html for the row 
'moe430_2', but it's not there now.

If I try install.packages2("mouse4302") under R 2.0.1 for Windows, the file 
'mouse4302_1.6.8.zip' which is downloaded turns out to be of size zero.

If I try install.packages2("mouse4302") under R 2.0.0 for linux (see the 
session below), a directory 'Rlibs/mouse4302' is created which seems at 
first sight to be a valid package, and even builds. However it will not 
load. The DESCRIPTION file is dated 6 Jan 2005.

Can someone help me?
