Depends where one installed them (packages)! If in RHOME/library, yes.
And, if earlier than 0.63.3, yes as the HTML search depends on new
features. And if under Windows, yes if you want to use off-line help.
My solution is to install in /ext/R/library, and set RLIBS to that.
Then (modulo problems with R CMD check in earlier versions) I can use
the packages from that library with lots of versions.
