New description:
(At least) some R packages can no longer be installed.
This is due to upstream's change of management of "lazy loading" : some
packages version available through default repositories now expect to use
this new mechanism, which is not available in R 2.14.0.
The best solution is probably to update the R version shipping with Sage.
I have packaged and tested it
Install the spkg from
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/dima/packages/r-2.15.2.p0.spkg
and apply the [http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/raw-
attachment/ticket/14008/trac-14008.patch patch]

Comment (by dimpase):
Could you provide examples related to R packages which this is supposed to
fix?
(Even better, doctests, perhaps optional)
