No.
In 10 years you may have different hardware and a different OS, so that
the old R and old packages won't run on the new hardware or produce
different results. This may even happen for some sort of containers and
virtualizations.
To be really safe, you ideally need to keep the whole system as is (but
then there are security updates etc).

Subject: Re: [R] Problem with compatible library versions
[External Email]
There is a fairly straightforward way to load older versions of packages, and
that is to use the 'groundhog' package.
As the first sentence of https://groundhogr.com/ puts it:
Make your R scripts reproducible by replacing library(pkg)
with groundhog.library(pkg, date).
pkg can be a vector of package names or a single name.

On the github website I have reported several bugs with new versions

versions
So this is on Windows.
Actually, if you install R-4.1.2 and use a clean library and install
binaries, then you should get binary installation from CRAN that fit
to the R-4.1.x series.
If you want to install older package versions, then you have to
install these one by one from sources, unfortunately.

installed are still the newest ones. I was able to install dplyr 1.0.7.
manually but there are error messages on incompatibility when
loading this version. Is there a possibility to load older library
versions which alre compatible ?
Thank you very much!
