You would have needed to have earlier installed that package before  
trying to load it.

To do ... what?

This is a bit of a puzzle for me. I cannot find evidence that there  
ever was a "ts" package. (.... of course this does not sound like a  
question for Google but rather one for the packages pages of CRAN or r- 
forge.)

  I looked in the archived and orphaned packages

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/

  ... none named "ts" A ts-class, perjaps? That is in the core packages.

Looking in r-forge:

https://r-forge.r-project.org/search/?type_of_search=soft&words=time+series&Search=Search

None named "ts" ... FinTS, yes. "xts", yes

  Looking at the Time Series Task view...

http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/TimeSeries.html

... no "ts" package. Many other packages however.
