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:I had the same problem on my workstation - stable version of debian. probably depending on a site-installation based on

the R- source files.
I removed usr/local/lib/R, changed the line R_LIBS to R_LIBS=${R_LIBS-'/usr/lib/R/library'} in /etc/R/Renviron
and installed the missing packages again, they were installed in /usr/lib/R/library and
seem to work well - at least so long.
