I guess a zipped file was corrupted. But there could be a number of
different problems ...

The error message is defined in dounzip.c and in your caase used in R by
zip.unpack() which is used by install.packages() which itself is used by
update.packages().

I'd suggest:
- Download the package again
- try do.unzip(packagename, librarypath) again

Now it would be useful to know some details on your OS (and version of
R, of course), because one could know whether your system supports
unzip. In that case you could set it in options(), if the R internal
unzip doesn't work.
