I thought I had a clean R when doing:

[Workspace restored from /Volumes/User/bpuetz/.RData]

 > sessionInfo()
R version 2.6.0 (2007-10-03)
powerpc-apple-darwin8.10.1

locale:
de_DE.UTF-8/de_DE.UTF-8/de_DE.UTF-8/C/de_DE.UTF-8/de_DE.UTF-8

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets
[6] methods   base    
 > library(Rdbi)
Lade nötiges Paket: Rdbi
Error in loadNamespace(package, c(which.lib.loc, lib.loc), keep.source = 
keep.source) :
  zyklische Abhängigkeiten von Namensräumen werden nicht unterstützt
Error : Paket 'Rdbi' konnte nicht geladen werden
Error : .onLoad in 'loadNamespace' für 'Rdbi' fehlgeschlagen
Fehler: Laden von Paket/Namensraum für 'Rdbi' fehlgeschlagen

then I noticed the first line and wanted to make sure it was. After

rm (list=ls())

library(Rdbi)

is quiet as it should be... although I seem to have to load RdbiPgSQL 
manually -

    primer.conn <- dbConnect(PgSQL(),
                             host='localhost',
                             dbname='primer')

yields

Fehler in dbConnect(PgSQL(), host = "localhost", dbname = "primer") :
  konnte Funktion "PgSQL" nicht finden

But I can live with that ...

Thanks for helping me remove the culprit - whatever it may have been
