I am running R under Windows 11. recently updated R to the 4.6patchhed

library of 4.6. Then I updated all packages.
Since then, I see the following behavior:
Each time I run "update.packages(ask='graphics',checkBuilt=TRUE)" I am
asked TWICE
"--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---".
And, more embarrassingly, all my Cran and Bioconductor are said to
require an update. That also happens when I run "update.packages", say,
one hour after my last update.
And when I run "old.packages()", it seems that all my packages are
identified as being old.
Any suggestions what might be going on?
For a major version change (as from 4.5.x to 4.6.y) we do not guarantee
API compatibility, hence we cannot guarantee that a package built for
4.5.x will work under 4.6.y. As a consequence, update.packages() knows
that everything has to be reinstalled.

Thank you so much in advance,
