I would appreciate getting a clarification of /usr/lib/R/library vs 
/usr/local/lib/R/site-library.  I am running R 1.8 on Debian Linux.  On one occasion 
doing update.packages() resulted in versions of one or more libraries being placed in 
one of these directories without removing the old version, and the old version took 
precedence over the new.  I'm sorry I did not save the steps I used.  I would 
appreciate reading how best to manage libraries.  Currently I have the following in 
/usr/local/lib/R/site-library: Design, Hmisc, Rcmdr, acepack, car.  /usr/lib/R/library 
contains the following:

KernSmooth  boot     eda      lqs      modreg  nnet     stepfun   ts
MASS        class    foreign  methods  mva     rpart    survival
R.css       cluster  grid     mgcv     nlme    spatial  tcltk
base        ctest    lattice  mle      nls     splines  tools

Thanks -Frank
