[Rd] Library lib.loc Option Ignored for Dependencies

[Dario Strbenac]

Good day,

If there's a library folder of the latest R packages and a particular package from it is loaded using the lib.loc option, the dependencies of that package are still attempted to be loaded from another folder of older packages specified by R_LIBS, which may cause errors about version requirements not being met. The documentation of the library function doesn't explain what the intended result is in such a case, but it could reasonably be expected that R would also load the dependencies from the user-specified lib.loc folder.
