Package installation requires newer version of dependency

While installing mapview I get the error: namespace ‘DBI’ 0.6-1 is being loaded, but >= 0.8 is required

> install.packages("mapview")

    namespace ‘DBI’ 0.6-1 is being loaded, but >= 0.8 is required

But I have DBI v 1.0.0 installed.

I've already tried uninstalling and re-installing DBI.

What else might I try?

There are likely multiple versions of DBI installed on your system; use installed.packages() to verify this, and if possible remove all with repeated calls to remove.packages("DBI").

If one or more of the DBI packages can't be removed (e.g., in a system-wide .libPaths() location), a work-around is to install the desired package without testing that it has been installed correctly

install.packages("mapview", INSTALL_opts="--no-test-load")
