Automating package updates after major version change
Why are you mucking with the system-level library? It is quite unusual to have a use-case in which you should not be adjusting your personal library.

Sarah, This isn't working for me on Slackware-14.2/x86_64. My R library is in /usr/lib64/R/library/ and I copied the contents to a text file, one package per line. Using the filename, packagelist, as an argument to install.packages() fails:
install.packages(packagelist)
Error in install.packages(packagelist) : object 'packagelist' not found Adding quotes didn't help. Creating a script, newversionupdate.R, containing the line, install.packages(packagelist) and sourcing it also failed. What might I be doing incorrectly? Regards, Rich
