It's trying to :-)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but `install.packages` doesn't update the
bioconductor packages, does it?

Let's start with IRanges .. what version of that do you have installed?

You can also just:

to update your already installed packages (did you happen to move your
old R-2.13 library to R-2.14?) ...
