Don't worry about this one. The problem is probably on the build machine
side (in the R it uses). Please ignore.

mmh... again something doesn't look quite right on this build machine. 
Please ignore.

This is the current release version. However remember that for testing
before package submission you should be using BioC devel (BioC 3.1, 
which requires R 3.2), not BioC release (BioC 3.0). That's what the
automatic single package builder uses.
The latest version of BiocGenerics in devel is 0.13.6.

Cheers,
