[Bioc-devel] Found more than one class "Annotated" in cache

Hi all,

when running R CMD check on our package, we get the following warning:

checking whether the namespace can be unloaded cleanly ... WARNING
---- unloading
Error in .getClassFromCache(what, resolve.confl = "all") :
  argument "where" is missing, with no default
Calls: unloadNamespace ... <Anonymous> -> .removeSuperclassBackRefs ->
.getClassFromCache
Execution halted

Is this warning related to the message mentioned earlier in this thread? If
so, should I expect this warning to go away once the bug in the class
import is fixed?

Here for the full Travis CI report:

Thanks,
Davide
