R help - Dec 2005 - broken package?

I've just tried to install the tseries package (which seems to include quite
a bit) and got the following results:

package 'dynlm' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
package 'leaps' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
package 'chron' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
package 'fCalendar' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
package 'strucchange' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
package 'DAAG' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
package 'quadprog' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Error in sprintf(gettext("unable to move temp installation '%d' to
'%s'"),
:
        use format %s for character objects
>
I'm running R-2.1.0

Is this updated in 2.2?

Aren't you supposed to find out if a problem is already fixed before 
posting, to use proper R version numbers and to tell us your OS?

My copy of the posting guide says so in all three cases.  What did yours 
say?

The error message was changed very soon after 2.1.0 was released.
