It looks like you installed the devel version of some packages. The
quickest way to fix this is:

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite(character())

Then answer "a" at the prompt to reinstall all packages.
If you always use biocLite() to install packages you won't run into
this situation.
