Right - you are using something called 'Trick or Treat' and you wonder 
why you have problems? I bet your house has been TP'ed as well. ;-D

Anyway, it looks like you have some mixture of old and new packages. Try 
restarting R, and then

library(BiocInstaller)
biocLite(character(0)) # <- that's a zero BTW.
and answer 'a' to the request to upgrade.

If that doesn't help, let us know.

Best,

Jim
