[R] What´s wrong with update.packages()

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

Please take a look at library/tseries/DESCRIPTION and see what version it 
says.  My guess is that it says 0.9-6.

My guess is that you got a cached copy of the tseries.zip file.
Please try again, perhaps using another CRAN mirror, or get the file 
yourself via ftp.
