Hi Kasper,

I also installed a clean devel version today and had no such problems,

also 

https://www.bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/useDevel/

works for me and says that using an R-devel version is necessary
to use Bioc-devel. I also get the correct BiocInstaller version:

There is however the IRanges issue I was asking about earlier.

Maybe clean the library and try again?

Best wishes,
