[R] Rcmdr will not load

[peter dalgaard]

Yes, that's annoying. I'm 99% sure that the root cause is that pbkrtest got upgraded and the new version depends on R >= 3.2.3. Since Rcmdr depends on car which imports pbkrtest, you get in trouble if your R is not at least at 3.2.3. The easiest way out is probably to upgrade R.
