Details:

The R package version comparison is broken.  When looking for a package with a
version higher than 1.3.3 and 1.20.0 is found, the test fails.

This patch fixes this by using R's `compareVersion` instead of comparing
strings.

The second patch uses `packageDescription` instead of `system.file`, because
it's simpler and avoids false positives.
