You probably need to upgrade your R software to the current version. Many CRAN
mirrors don't keep binary package repositories for old versions of R online,
and the Posting Guide warns that old versions of R are effectively off-topic on
the mailing lists.
You could also try downloading the zip file and installing it, but you are on
your own then since there are many possible hard-to-diagnose problems with doing
that.
