It is a warning: it will fall back to the version used in your unstated version of R. Nothing you show justifies your claim> i can't install the packagesHowever, most likely you have a problem connecting to the internet at all: see the FAQ relevant to your unstated OS or ask your local IT help.

If port 80 isn't working, you won't be able to download from anything. See if you can get Google - if you can't it's likely that you'll have to sort out the internet connection. Jim
