[Rd] update.packages keeps trying to update gregmisc

If I issue the command 
> update.packages() 
it wants to update 'gregmisc' but then if I do it again right afterwards it 
still wants to update 'gregmisc'.  It should have updated everything
the first time and should not be trying to update anything the second
time.  Any comments?

Here is the transcript of a session (R version at end):
