I'm trying to learn data.table package but I get a following annoying

I'm using R 2.10.1 (see sessioninfo below), so why this error message
keeps popping up?

Johannes, please try the latest version on R-forge (1.4). That error
has been fixed, and it's much faster. We hope to have that to CRAN
reasonably soon.

To install, use:

 
install.packages("data.table",repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
