[BioC] Error in AnnotationDbi 1.7.8

[Simon Anders]

Hi

I've just tried to update my Bioc 2.5 installation (on Ubuntu Intrepid 
x86_64) to the current packages, and AnnotationDbi 1.7.8 fails to install:

---8<---
* installing *source* package ‘AnnotationDbi’ ...
[...]
Creating a new generic function for "mget" in "AnnotationDbi"
Creating a new generic function for "eapply" in "AnnotationDbi"
Error in rematchDefinition(definition, fdef, mnames, fnames, signature) :
   arguments after '...' in the generic (all.names) must appear in the 
method, in the same place at the end of the argument list
Error : unable to load R code in package 'AnnotationDbi'
---8<---

Note that the build cluster currently reports the same error message on 
gewurz and liverpool (the Windows machines), so I suppose you are aware 
of the problem. However, I wanted to add that I observe the same error 
on my Linux box too, even though wilson2 seems to see no problem.

The error occurred with v1.7.8; v1.7.7 is fine.

Cheers
   Simon
