[Bioc-devel] using devel bug

Ok, I had to manually remove the BiocInstaller package, restart R and then
run biocLite and I am now on BiocInstaller 1.17.5 ~ Bioconductor 3.0

Clearly, there is some issue with the IS_UPGRADEABLE variable which (I
guess) is initialized at install time.

An automatic user library has been created (in case it did not already
exist) as
    ~/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/3.2
install.packages and R CMD INSTALL will automatically install to this
directory, so there is no need for a -l or a lib argument to these
functions.

Bioconductor version 3.0 (BiocInstaller 1.16.1), ?biocLite for help


Why?  In the past it would auto-detect my R version and automatically use
Bioc devel.  Also, I get

useDevel(TRUE)

Error: 'devel' version requires a more recent R

Enter a frame number, or 0 to exit

1: useDevel(TRUE)
2: .stop("'devel' version requires a more recent R")

Best,
