R help - Oct 2007 - error message with option checkBuild in update.packages in R 2.6.0

Hi

System: Linux Open SuSE 10.2

I upgraded to R 2.6.0 and wanted to upgrade my packages as well. I tried 
to use the checkBuild=TRUE option in update.packages, it asked me if I 
wanted to update the package and I answered with yes, and finally ig 
tave me the error message unknown parameter "checkBuild" in function 
install.packages.

My question: is the option still necessary or is the checkBuild done 
automatically? IF yes, I just update.packages without the option and 
don't woryy.

It is an _argument_ called 'checkBuilt', and the default is FALSE.  See 
the help page, please.
