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

[peter dalgaard]

Or, to avoid accusing you of lying. what you think is "vanilla" probably isn't. What exactly did you do? On Unix-likes, I would do something like this

echo 'options(repos=list(CRAN="cran.r-project.org"));install.packages("Rcpp")' | R --vanilla

(or maybe https://cloud.r-project.org is better...)
