This seems to be happening frequently at the cran berkeley site. I've also
had students try to install R from the Berkeley site and it just doesn't
work for them.
I had another student tell me today he tried all sorts of mirrors and could
not get R and knitr installed until he tried the Washington site.
Is there some sort of corruption going on at the CRAN mirrors?
D.
