[R] R-update - what about packages and ESS?

[Christian Hennig]

Hi there,

it seems that if I update R, it doesn't find previously installed packages 
anymore and is also not found by ESS.
Actually the update has been done by our system administrator who assumed 
that there would be no problems with these things (I don't have root 
access to this system) and will perhaps not be too keen on installing
everything else again.
Is there any simple way how ESS and the packages can be connected to the 
new R?

I remember that whenever I updated R on my private computers, I installed 
everything else again as well - but that's certainly not everybodies 
taste...

Best,
Christian
