(perhaps the search mechanism of the bugtracker is broken, I can't find my old
bug report -- but it's still broken)

new.packages() is only supposed to report on packages which are not installed.

When the packages are installed with installWithVers=TRUE, new.packages()
reports on installed packages.  This is a bug.
