Hello,

I solved the first issue. The r-preprocessorcore package has probably been 
moved to a different module (bioconductor) and one of the packages in my custom 
channel depending on it just needed to be updated with an additional use-module 
entry.

As for the second problem, I wiped the entire system recently, so I cannot 
comment any further on this :)
