R help - Sep 2010 - How to check the available of a package on R repo

Hi folks,

Debian 504 64-bit

What is the correct syntax to check the available of a package on R repo?
> available.packages("emacs", "OS_type=linux")
Warning: unable to access index for repository emacs
     Package Version Priority Depends Imports LinkingTo Suggests Enhances
     OS_type License File Repository
> available.packages("emacs")
Warning: unable to access index for repository emacs
     Package Version Priority Depends Imports LinkingTo Suggests Enhances
     OS_type License File Repository

TIA

What are you trying to do?

Did you look at the arguments for
the first argument of ?available.packages ?

What did you expect "emacs" to do?

There is no R repository that distributes Emacs. Emacs and the ESS  
package  (for Emacs) are not part of R. You choose your version of  
Emacs and get it from wherever that versions resides.
