A fundamental requirement for getting help through this mailing list is
submission of the
result of sessionInfo() for your R session where you are running into
trouble.  I believe
you have an outdated R, and that you must install R 2.14 and clean out any
old biocLite images
in your workspace, and start again.

If you have to ask you should never do it.  Do not modify DESCRIPTION.  If
you do,
no one will be able to help you reliably.
