[Bioc-devel] Bioc Devel Version issue

Dear Bioc-Developers,

I am trying to switch to Bioc Devel (R version 3.4.2).  There is a
versioning issue with Bioconductor:

 > source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
Bioconductor version 3.4 (BiocInstaller 1.24.0), ?biocLite for help

 > useDevel()
Error: 'devel' version already in use

 > remove.packages("BiocInstaller")
Removing package from ?/home/mikemorgan/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4?
(as ?lib? is unspecified)
Error in find.package(pkgs, lib) :
   there is no package called ?BiocInstaller?

 > source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
Bioconductor version 3.4 (BiocInstaller 1.24.0), ?biocLite for help
Warning message:
Bioconductor version 3.4 is too old for R version 3.4.2; see
https://bioconductor.org/install/#troubleshoot-biocinstaller

I have followed the instructions in the URL and this does not provide a
solution.  I am attempting to specifically update to use
SingleCellExperiment and the github version of scran.
