Dirk, Thank you for your elaboration. This issue is related to curl trusting a CA cert as its called by R. curl called from bash recognizes the system cert bundle for CA's, curl called from R does not.
may I know how to trust the system certificate bundle from within R?

You mean when you look at the directory in a browser? Should not matter. Use any command-line client (wget, curl, ...) or R's download.file() to slurp down http://$MYSERVER/src/contrib/PACKAGES to inspect, compare, ... -- and that is an absolute path so the index does not matter.
