There are people posting misinformation ....

There is no known need to reinstall CRAN packages for R 2.15.2 from R 
2.15.0.  However, there are packages which have newest versions 
depending on R >= 2.15.2, and others depending on new versions of BioC 
packages which are available in BioC 2.11, which is the default in R 
2.15.2 (as distinct from BioC 2.10 in R 2.15.[01]).  So I would always 
suggest using update.packages() after updating R.
