Please see:   

       http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Design/index.html

which is standard boilerplate for removed packages.  In this case, either one 
of

	sudo apt-get install r-cran-rms

or

        install.packages("rms")

will do the trick as Frank Harrell's "rms" package replaced his "Design"
package several years ago.

Hth,  Dirk
