I'm really surprised you could install version 1.3.8 actually. It requires edgeR >= 2.7.23 (yours is 2.6.9), and IRanges >= 1.15.18 (yours is 1.14.4). How did you do the installation?

Anyway, if you want to use the development version of the easyRNASeq package, you should use the development version of every package (knowing that they are then more unstable and might be broken for a couple of days from time to time). If you want to use the development version, you should do the following:

library(BiocInstaller)
useDevel(TRUE)
chooseBioCmirror() ## pick the closest one
update.packages(ask=FALSE)

If not, you're better off reverting to easyRNASeq version 1.2.3.

In any case looks like the major problem is here before I can proceed. Any idea on this one?...

system.file is not appropriate here, look at the help about it for more details (it basically look up files in your R installation directories), i.e. in R type:

?system.file

Just using annotationFile="dmel-all-r5.45.gff" should do it.

No, that should be fine, but we can double check. What does the following gives you (in a terminal, not in R)

grep ">" dmel-all-chromosome-r5.45.fasta
