Hi Franceso,

I haven't been following this thread too closely, but:

If you set `type="source"`, you should grab the latest version of the
package (for some reason the builds are trailing), ie:

R> biocLite("TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene", type="source")

That should get you the latest version ... it's downloading and
installing for me.

I'm not sure if this will fix your problems (not sure what they are).
If it doesn't, perhaps you may want to try another round of upgrading
your packages via `biocLite` using the `type="source"` trick.

If that doesn't work, I'm at a loss, if I were in your shoes, I'd
likely take "the nuclear option" and blow out all bioconductor
packages I have installed and reinstalling them to make sure
everything is feng shui, but there's no guarantee that will work for
you either, so ... do at your own risk.
