Hello again, I've found another issue with 'install.packages'. 'install.packages("C", dep=TRUE)' will "fail" when the 2 following conditions are satisfied: - Package C depends on B which in turns depends on A but the Depends field in C doesn't list A. - Package B is already installed but not package A (e.g. the user did 'install.packages("B", dep=FALSE)'). Then 'install.packages("C", dep=TRUE)' will not install A. May be this is the desired behavior, I don't know. Personally, I would think of 'install.packages("C", dep=TRUE)' as a reliable way to get every packages that C directly or indirectly relies on installed.
