You might want to read through: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.8/ Version 2.0-10 was just posted to CRAN on 2003-11-13. It is possible that the process to generate the Windows zip file has not yet completed or there is a problem with the package not passing Rcmd check. Hence the R 1.8.0 Windows version of the file is not yet on the site, which is why you are getting the error. The new version is on CRAN for R 1.7.x dated 14-Nov-2003, thus it may be that there is an issue with the package under 1.8.0. that requires resolution by the package maintainer.
