no, only the 'current' version of Bioconductor packages are available / 
installed via biocLite(), so your code needs to be updated to work with 
the current KEGGgraph.

Also: The KEGGgraph maintainer should ensure that the *devel* version of 
KEGGgraph has an odd-numbered 'y' version greater than the *release* 
version. Currently,

   Release: 1.38.0
   Devel: 1.37.1

Best 'correct' version

   Release: 1.38.0
   Devel: 1.39.0

Next new feature version

   Devel: 1.39.1

Next bug-fix version, assuming no new features

   Release: 1.38.1
   Devel: 1.39.1
