there such an option that I missed?


I think you want update.packages(ask = FALSE, checkBuilt = TRUE) to automatically update all packages and their dependencies. With the default checkBuilt=FALSE, R just sees whether a dependency is a high enough version number. But packages installed under R x.y.z are not usable in R x.y+1.w.

    Alternatively, is there a function I can run that will rebuild all
installed packages after I upgrade R versions?
