I just installed package biostrings

biocLite("Biostrings")
BioC_mirror: http://bioconductor.org
Using Bioconductor version 3.1 (BiocInstaller
1.18.4), R version 3.2.0.
Installing package(s) ‘Biostrings’
also installing the dependencies ‘S4Vectors’, ‘IRanges’, ‘XVector’, ‘zlibbioc’

library(Biostrings)
Loading required package: S4Vectors
Loading required package: stats4
Creating a generic function for ‘nchar’ from package ‘base’ in package ‘S4Vectors’
Loading required package: IRanges
Loading required package: XVector
Warning messages:
1: package ‘S4Vectors’ was built under R version 3.2.1
2: package ‘IRanges’ was built under R version 3.2.1

But when I try to use it's datatypes I get the following errors.

d <- BString("TTGAAAAACTCGN")
Error in nchar(x, type = "bytes") :
could not find symbol "keepNA" in environment of the generic function

> dna <- DNAString("TTGAAAAACTCGN")
Error in nchar(x, type = "bytes") :
could not find symbol "keepNA" in environment of the generic function

What can I do?

Can you confirm that, in a new R session, library(S4Vectors) fails, and that pacakgeVersion("S4Vectors") reports version 0.6.3 installed? If that is not the installed version, please provide the full output of Jim's suggestion to biocLite("S4Vectors").

The most reliable solution is to use a current version of R (3.2.2) and Bioconductor (3.2).
