[Bioc-devel] Subsetting an RleList object

[Thomas Sandmann]

Dear BioC developers,

I am trying to subset an RleList with an IRangesList (see attached rdata
object). Unfortunately, the following line fails with IRanges 1.20.0:

return_rles[keep_ranges] <- TRUE
Error in subsetListByList_replace(x, i, value) :
  cannot subscript an unnamed list-like object by a named list-like object

Unnaming the IRangesList doesn't help, either:

return_rles[unname(keep_ranges)] <- TRUE
Error in callNextMethod() :
  in processing 'callNextMethod', found a '...' in the matched call, but no
corresponding '...' argument

The same operation worked with IRanges 1.18.2 using the (now deprecated)
seqselect method:

seqselect( return_rles, keep_ranges ) <- TRUE

Any hints ?

Thanks,
Thomas
