ho to check package dependencies

[Paul Johnson]

In the kutils package, I have a fix along these lines. updatePackages is
like update.packages, but it checks requirements and installs them. Problem
it fixes is when package adds new dependency, but update.packages never
notices. I think it may fix problem you describe, of we can fix. I'm unsure
on how we did version checking, but think we could.
