I am using a windows laptop, R 3.2.2

I am using R-gui.

When I go to Packages -> Update packages and then select a Cran mirror
(in the US) - it tells me to update the following packages:

GLMMGibbs
RDCOMClient
Rstem
survnnet
yags

I click OK and then I get successful update messages, like:

trying URL 'http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/3.2/survnnet_1.1-3.zip'
Content type 'application/zip' length 235981 bytes (230 KB)
downloaded 230 KB

trying URL 'http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/3.2/yags_4.0-2.2.zip'
Content type 'application/zip' length 205372 bytes (200 KB)
downloaded 200 KB

package ‘survnnet’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
package ‘yags’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

Then I to to Packages -> Update packages, and exactly the same
packages as before appear - as if I didn't just update them.

What could be the reason? I tried to totally delete the folders of
those packages, install them from scratch (successfully), still - they
keep appearing in Update Pacakges widnow.

Any advice?
Thank you!
