Get the real-time availability with:

  available.db0pkgs <- function()
  {
    url <- "http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/data/annotation/src/contrib"
    pkgs <- available.packages(url)[, "Package"]
    pkgs <- pkgs[substr(pkgs, nchar(pkgs)-3, nchar(pkgs)) == ".db0"]
    names(pkgs) <- NULL
    pkgs
  }

  > available.db0pkgs()
   [1] "arabidopsis.db0" "bovine.db0"      "canine.db0"      "chicken.db0"
   [5] "ecoliK12.db0"    "ecoliSakai.db0"  "fly.db0"         "human.db0"
   [9] "malaria.db0"     "mouse.db0"       "pig.db0"         "rat.db0"
  [13] "worm.db0"        "yeast.db0"       "zebrafish.db0"
