With the added information from Gerard, we were able to reproduce the
problem and are currently working on a fix.

Hello Gerard, all,

The annotation packages breaking help.search was due to improperly
built annotation packages.

We have posted updated annotation packages to the Bioconductor meta
data repository.

Reinstalling the annotation data packages should resolve the issue and
allow help.search to function normally.

Please let us know (on bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch) if you find
otherwise.

Thanks,

+ seth
