On a 3.5.1 installation not yet updated, brms has three dependencies,
none of them having themselves dependencies :
> installed.packages()["brms","Depends"]
[1] "R (>= 3.2.0), Rcpp (>= 0.12.0), ggplot2 (>= 2.0.0), methods"
> installed.packages()["Rcpp","Depends"]
[1] "R (>= 3.0.0)"
> installed.packages()["ggplot2","Depends"]
[1] "R (>= 3.1)"
> installed.packages()["methods","Depends"]
[1] NA
However, reinstalling these dependencies (except methods, which is an
unupgradable base package) do not allow for a smooth upgrade :
> install.packages(c("Rcpp","ggplot2","methods"))
