I am sorry: I made an error earlier -- I made a mistake (used the plural 
instead of 'tikzDevices'). 

This was a false alarm. Apologies for that!

However, while I don't know if this would be possible to get from an error 
message but it would have been preferred if the message had said that there was 
no such package in R, rather than say that the package is not available for R 
version 3.2.3 which led me to believe that an updated version was not available.

However, at the end of a long day, it was my mistake: sorry again for that!

Best wishes,
Ranjan

Good,  and thanks to Yihui indeed!

One note:  The  "cloud" CRAN server is nowadays reachable as

https://cloud.r-project.org

and that is now the preferred URL.  Rstudio is currently still
paying the service -> Thank you JJ and Rstudio staff! -- but
that may not have to remain so, and the  R Foundation and R Core team
are much happier to have a generic

https://cloud.r-project.org   as "default CRAN mirror".

Yihui,

Thanks very much! Explicitly specifying the RStudio server works, and I have 
reinstalled tikzDevice

Best wishes,
