Or spare some keystrokes and use packageVersion("foo") #rstats
To tell what version of package foo you're running, you can call packageDescription(foo)$Version #rstats bit.ly/1XpqxoR

Fully agreed; and should probably hard-wire it in the @Debian (and hence @Ubuntu) package for R.
+@richarddmorey Always point to cloud.r-project.org/. It will be much more reliable. #rstats
