Error in building package indices
There is not much context here, but it seems this is whilst trying to do an install. I would expect R CMD INSTALL to fail in the same place. It appears to indicate a bug in one of your datasets.

Dear R-devel members,
We are building a new package (GeneticsBase) for analysis of genetic data .
While doing "R CMD check with R-2.1.1, I am getting the following error:

We believe that this could be due to package versioning, but are not sure.
Not sure what you mean here. No versioning is being used by R CMD check.
