That is great! 

Is there a way to know version required in the dependent packages?

Use reverse=TRUE to list packages that depend on the given package.

Hi 

Is there an elegant way to recursive list all dependencies of a package prior 
to its installation or upgrade? 

I am particularly interested in finding which of the packages currently 
installed in my test/production environment would require an upgrade prior to 
actual installation/upgrade of a package. 

Can the packrat package help with this? 

Thank you
