[BioC] Problem installing GenomicFeatures

[Georg Otto]

Dear Bioconductors,

since my R installation was upgraded to 2.14.1 I have a problem with
loading and installing GenomicFeatures. here is what I try to do:


library(Biostrings)
Loading required package: IRanges
Loading required package: BiocGenerics

Attaching package: ‘BiocGenerics’

    xtabs

    setdiff, table, tapply, union, unique

I think the relevant packages are up to date. Installing GenomicFeatures
using BiocLight did not help:


> source('http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R')
BiocInstaller version 1.2.1, ?biocLite for help

Attaching package: ‘BiocInstaller’

Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
  package ‘GenomicFeatures’ is not available (for R version 2.14.1)


So i tried installation by hand:


$ R CMD INSTALL -l ~/rlib GenomicFeatures_1.6.8.tar.gz 
* installing *source* package ‘GenomicFeatures’ ...
** R

** preparing package for lazy loading
Warning: multiple methods tables found for ‘getSeq’
Error : classes "file", "connection" are not exported by 'namespace:Biostrings'
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘GenomicFeatures’


Has anyone an idea what is going on?

Best wishes,
