[R] Matrix package download problem

[Ashley Ford]

Trying to install the Matrix package with  install.packages fails for me 
  on Linux, it is trying to fetch the wrong version 0.99-4, downloading 
the tgz which is 0.99-6 and using R CMD INSTALL works fine


The output from the failed install was

 > install.packages(c("Matrix"))
trying URL 'http://cran.uk.r-project.org/src/contrib/Matrix_0.99-4.tar.gz'
Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb") :
         cannot open URL 
'http://cran.uk.r-project.org/src/contrib/Matrix_0.99-4.tar.gz'
In addition: Warning message:

Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available = 
available,  :
