For those of you having same problems :
just like i solved it :
downloaded it from US Mirror :
http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/rgdal/
then installed it manually on console with

R CMD INSTALL  /home/hacke/temp/rgdal_0.6-24.tar.gz

hope this works 4 you :)

Thanks for the help with us mirror and so on.
