My guess is it is because of a problem in R-devel, the development 
version of R, which has been fixed/reverted but it may take some time 
for systems to recover (82587+82589, the former tested on 
CRAN/Bioconductor packages, the latter being a hot-fix of the former, 
which unfortunately made a very large number of CRAN packages to fail). 
It is part of an attempt to fix semantics of useBytes=TRUE ([1] is 
somewhat related). Sorry for the inconvenience.
