Dear R-core/development-team,
The problem noted in the subject-line has been a problem in the last three
development versions of R for Windows that I have downloaded and tested, the
most recent of them being a version I downloaded this morning.
Update.packages() using the graphical option, i.e. called as
update.packages(ask='graphics', checkBuilt=TRUE)
does not work as it should, but presents a list of all of the installed
packages, regardless of version/time-stamp.
The call
update.packages(old.packages())
works as it should.
