Reinstall the updated versions however you originally did. The "obstacles" 
imposed by CRAN that cause package developers to forgo sharing there came about 
to confirm documentation, cross-platform compatibility and dependencies. With 
no referee enforcing such care in the environments you are pulling from, you 
cannot expect automated dependency management to work. You are riding a mustang 
in the Wild West... so have fun while it lasts... eventually bit-rot will break 
your library unless you freeze it (use packrat and keep old versions of R?).
