Hello,

My main error was that this is the first time it happens and I didn't do any real thinking, I just assumed that it was an upgrade both R and Ubuntu issue.

Thanks, the reminder of the differences between R and RStudio was very helpful.

Well, you forgot that Rstudio wraps quite a bit around R.
If you use install.packages() inside Rstudio you get their own
version instead of R's ... :

install.packages
function (...)
.rs.callAs(name, hook, original, ...)
<environment: 0x55a548da49f0>


And they have really tweaked R in a way that it behaves
illogically, and even I don't see how they kept their version of
install.packages hidden from the conflicts() and find()
functions :

find("install.packages")
[1] "package:utils"

But of course

identical(install.packages, utils::install.packages)
[1] FALSE

(Now closing Rstudio again .. and revert to use ESS)
