R help - May 2006 - package update problem

Hi all,
>From late April, everytime when I update my packages, the package
"gap" is always on the list of "packages to be updated". I
try to
download and install the gap zip file from CRAN. However, the same
problem still remains. No such problem for other packages.

This is because package gap used to be bundle gap.  You need to remove the 
packages that were previously part of the bundle.  If you don't know what 
those are, ask the maintainer.
