[Rd] unedited copy/paste from install.packages man page to update.packages man page

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi,

Looks like this was addressed in revision 61083, thanks!
Note that the example provided for update.packages is still the
same i.e. it shows how to use install.packages instead of
update.packages.

Cheers,
H.
