That would not be the first option. Checking to see if your mirror is  
deficient by looking at another mirror would be the first option. You  
should also look at at the Package Checks page; http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_summary.html

  There is a version of vegan on the mirror I am using and I have a  
relatively recent version of R 2.14.1 Patched (with a Mac). And there  
are no errors reported for current versions. So leave the package  
maintainer in peace, since he has been doing his job.
