[R] Updating Rcpp package when it is claimed by dplyr

[Patrick Connolly]

When i  tried to install the hunspell package, I got this error message:

Error: package ‘Rcpp’ 0.12.3 was found, but >= 0.12.12 is required by ‘hunspell’

So I set about installing a new version of Rcpp but I get this message:

Error in unloadNamespace(pkg_name) : 
  namespace ‘Rcpp’ is imported by ‘dplyr’ so cannot be unloaded

How does one get around that?  I tried installing Rcpp in a vanilla
session but the result was the same.

TIA
Patrick
