For the last while minfi has failed to build in devel. It fails with
a rather arcane error message
* installing *source* package ?minfi? ...

Error in generics[[i]] : subscript out of bounds

For a while I thought this was related to BiocGenerics, but I have now
tracked it down. This problem occurs if I have
importMethodsFrom(Biobase, show)
in my NAMESPACE file. It does not appear if I have
import(Biobase)
This is rather weird. And I don't understand why show is different
from say initialize. I don't see how either Biobase nor minfi treats
show in any way different from initialize.
Some (irrelevant) background: If I use import(Biobase) it conflicts
(resulting in a warning message) with matrixStats, so I have attempted
to work around this by selectively importing Biobase.
Anyone who has any idea what is different between show and initialize here?
