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.
