This R command lists all the packages installed by the user (ignoring packages that come with R such as base and foreign) and the package versions.
ip <- as.data.frame(installed.packages()[,c(1,3:4)]) rownames(ip) <- NULL ip <- ip[is.na(ip$Priority),1:2,drop=FALSE] print(ip, row.names=FALSE)
Example output

Tested with R 3.2.0.
This is a small step towards managing package versions: for a better solution, see the checkpoint package. You could also use the first column to reinstall user-installed R packages after an R upgrade.
