I see. And yes, I could only track DBI down though suggests from knitr & S4Vectors. The best answer then, it to suggest DBI?
Thanks,

>> I completely missed the warning in the install.out file and had no idea where this was coming from. The object has a slot with a class inheriting from the S4Vectors package. Based on the very helpful thread you suggested, it appears that is the crux. The odd thing is that unlike the ade4 package which was NOT importing anything from the offending sp package, I list S4Vectors as an import. Why would, if the S4Vectors package has some dependencies on the DBI package (probably by way of the AnnotationDbi package?) would DBI not be installed?
