title: Installing old package version on old R version
body: <p>I have R v3.2.5 (the newest is 3.6.3) <strong>on purpose</strong>.
  I need to install certain packages (also old versions, taken from <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">R archive</a>).
  For instance VIM package, currently at v5.1.0, I need v4.8.0.</p>
  
  <p>After running:</p>
  
  <p><code>install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/VIM/VIM_4.8.0.tar.gz",repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org" , type="source")</code></p>
  
  <p>I keep getting the error:
  <code>...is not available (for R version 3.2.5)</code></p>
  
  <p>One of the computers already has this R version with these allegedly unfitted R packages.
  Usually I would use Bioconductor, but I get a similar error trying to install bioconductor v3.2 (that supposed to fit R v3.2.x).</p>
  
  <p>I scouted the internet and couldn't find anything helpful, I hope you guys could.</p>
