R help - Jan 2011 - update.views("Spatial") does not seem to be able to find RPyGeo package

I have this problem with loading RPyGeo package when using update.views.
How can I fix this.  I have tried to use other CRAN  mirrors with the same
result.
Below is a copy of my session.

The package is stated only to run under Windows (see the SystemRequirements
field on its CRAN page), and you are on Linux - does this explain anything?
Maybe ask the package maintainer?

Only by changing the operating system. You are using Linux but the RPyGeo 
package require Windows, see http://CRAN.R-project.org/package=RPyGeo

update.views() (or actually the underlying call to install.packages()) 
just informs you about this through a warning.
