Well, of cause I didn't want install pkg1 or pkg2,
the precise commandline was:

1. R CMD INSTALL epitools_0.3-3.tar.gz

and

2.  install.packages("accuracy", "zoo", "abind")

Sorry for being so unclear in my first message! I did take the package
names from R-CRAN website, copied and pasted to commandline


Thanks
Thomas
