[Rd] Package keyval Error: noupquote undefined

[Yihui Xie]

Hi,

Due to a change in Rd.sty a few days ago
(https://github.com/wch/r-source/commit/620eb9a#diff-3bf3d821c6faae50cd6ec931f6f63296L272),
the default installation of TeXLive 2009 or 2012 no longer works when
building Rd to PDF. The error log is like this:

===============

The problem is reproducible with TeXLive 2012 and Ubuntu 12.04. I went
through the R-admin manual, and I did not seem to find a requirement
of the TeXLive version there.

Here is a minimal foo.Rd that shows the problem when running `Rd CMD
Rd2pdf foo.Rd`:

\name{foo}
\alias{foo}
\title{Foo}
\description{
Bar.
