[R] Update packages error message

[Mike Prager]

In updating packages (R 2.8.0 on Windows XP SP3), I received an
error message (complete with non-ASCII characters as pasted
below). This does not seem to have caused a problem.  Any idea
what is going on and whether it is likely to have consequences?
