Something's fishy with my R devel/Bioc 3.1 installation and I fail to

I have the exact same error with ReportingTools/PFAM.db,
Mus.musculus/GO.db and probably others.

Session info with other relevant package versions below. I experienced
the same error with a slightly older R-devel (2014-10-29 r66897).

Any hints?

Somewhere I think there's a stale serialized R-3.1 reference to ls(), derived 
from a package build with R-3.1 rather than R-devel.

A little detective work shows that packages are loaded in the following order

...
[43] "graph"                             "RBGL"
[45] "GO.db"                             "org.Hs.eg.db"
[47] "TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene" "Homo.sapiens"

so I wonder if org.Hs.eg.db or TxDb.... is actually the problem, and 
biocLite(org.Hs.eg.db) or TxDb... (maybe with type="source") would help?

It might help to (maybe before biocLite(), to find the source of the problem)

biocLite("Homo.sapiens", INSTALL_opts="--no-test-load")

and then

   library(Homo.sapiens)

followed by traceback() -- this way you'll at least be able to explore the call 
stack.
