From the NEWS file for 2.10.0:

DEPRECATED & DEFUNCT

...

    o   Bundles of packages are deprecated.  See 'Writing R
        Extensions' for the steps needed to unbundle a bundle.


Thus, see:

  http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Package-bundles


I am copying Greg here at his last known e-mail address, albeit I have not seen any communications from him in some time.

In the mean time, you will need to install/upgrade the individual component packages.

HTH,
