It turned out that the directory where I had installed contributed packages
(as defined by the environment variable R_LIB) was damaged, though it was
not revealed by the usual disk maintenance tools (chkdsk, etc). I deleted it
and created a new one, and everything looks fine now.

I met today a computer crash and our maintenance officer had to reinstall
some components of the OS (MS Windows XP Pro) as well as the Internet
browser (among other things). Now, I cannot install packages from a distant
repository:
utils:::menuInstallPkgs()
Error in .readRDS(pfile) : unknown
Still searching what's going on In fact, I can download manually any
package and install it. The problem occurs when updating the html files. I
can reproduce it with this:
link.html.help()
Error in .readRDS(pfile) : unknown input format
traceback()
