Or this could be related to the earlier messages about packages on the
server not loading into the list for download from the CRAN mirrors?

What is going on is that http://cran.r-project.org/bin/**
macosx/leopard/contrib/2.14/<http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.14/>
has
an empty PACKAGES file.  Given that it hadn't been updated for a couple of
weeks on Weds, you may just need to be patient.  But in any case, only
Simon can fix this as only he has sufficient access to the package builder.
So reporting to Simon is always going to be the most effective way forward
for similar problems.

Perhaps this can encourage people to test 2.15.0 beta?  Its binary package
repository does have a populated PACKAGES file.
