Yes, and that was Go.db that failed. Updating to AnnotationDbi 1.29.1
fixed it.

Ok, I guess I will go ahead and hunt all annotation packages.

What is the best way to programmatically get a list of all annotation
packages - biocViews? While thinking about a question that came up on
the support site, I realised that I did not even know if the annotation
packages lived in an svn repo.
