I updated to the most recent R version. After this brand new installation, I get the following error while loading library affycoretools:

library(affycoretools)
Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) :
  there is no package called ‘ff’
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘affycoretools’

After checking mailing list, I followed James advice (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioconductor/2012-December/049895.html) and updated all packages
library(BiocInstaller)
biocLite(character(0))

Additionally, I updated all R packages as well

Still, the same problem arise. My R session info is bellow
