Hello,
The R version on my  system is R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22).  I have
previously installed all the desired packages  for my work - and they have
been working fine. However, somebody played with my system and removed
almost all the stuff. I am installing the packages again.

But I am finding some packages (such as, sp, rgdal, raster, etc) hard to
install. Some of the error messages indicate that 2.8.1 is old and that the
package requires 2.10.0.

I have tried to upgrade to 2.10.0 or to the newest release but without luck.
I am now considering reinstalling R ( and then reinstall all the removed
packages).

Could you please advise if  this has any negative implications the R package
or if I have any better option as to handle this problem?

Thanks for your inputs
Best
Ogbos
