Rolf,
I am truly sorry but I am getting lost in your original message. Could you follow-up and describe (concisely, if possible) what your question is? Is it - installing 4.1.1 or 4.1.0 - developing a package of yours - installing a package ? You seem to interweave a few strands in ways that make it less clear exactly what is holding you back.

If *you* don't understand, what hope is there for the rest of | us, me in particular? Sometimes it is a simple lack of resources / time / effort / merit. Something I meant to tackle is to allow r-base-core to coexist with a (to be written package) r-base-devel but doing that _cleanly_ with the expect robustness is a lot of work so I have yet to do it, even after ~ 20 years of working on R and the r-{base,doc}-* packages as well as many r-cran-* ones.
