You can try to update the already existing package.

Remove a package with remove.packages() e.g.

remove.packages("affycoretools")

Affycoretools is a Bioconductor pacakge, so reinstallation needs their install script / the BiocInstaller package e.g.

source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("affycoretools")

---

Edit: To install this package, start R (version "4.0") and enter:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")

BiocManager::install("affycoretools")

Go to the Packages in right bottom corner of Rstudio, sear the package name and click on the adjacent X icon to remove it.

Reinstall the package from Bioconductor/CRAN.

##Bioconductor
source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("affycoretools")
