Any chance that you have more than one R on your system and root picks
up an older one?

You could try setting the environment variable R_LIBS to install
packages somewhere in your homedir.

So as a test, I would do:

   mkdir RLIBS-2.3
   export R_LIBS=$HOME/RLIBS-2.3
   R

Then from R do:

   source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
   biocLite("Rdbi")

Once installed, try from that same session:

   library("Rdbi")
