First for general info: Although I am listed as maintainer I am not
maintaining this version currently. Thanks to the developers who offer
this version and work on it. We will try to get a version on CRAN soon.
For your specific question:
Download the file and rename it to
BRugs_0.6-1.zip.
Then try again. R expects to get packages in the way they were created
by R CMD INSTALL --build, not with a changed filename which happened to
this version (with the added R12).
Best wishes,
Uwe Ligges
