yes, I see  that your R version is 'R (for windows) 1.8.1'
and that's probably why it tries to get package for that
version.

If you want to upgrade packages, I strongly recommend to first
upgrade R to the current version 2.0.0 (or maybe "2.0.0 patched")
-- and then follow the advice from James MacDonald.
