[BioC] Problem when loading simpleaffy package

[Michael Steeves]

When I try to load up the simpleaffy package, at the end it generates an
error message:

Loading required package: Biobase
Welcome to Bioconductor

    Vignettes contain introductory material; view with
    'browseVignettes()'. To cite Bioconductor, see
    'citation("Biobase")', and for packages 'citation("pkgname")'.

Loading required package: affy
Loading required package: genefilter
Loading required package: gcrma
No methods found in "Biobase" for requests: geneNames

I can reproduce this on both Linux and OS X, using 2.15.2, 2.15.3, 3.0.0
and 3.0.1. It looks like the simpleaffy package attaches (as does Biobase):

R> sessionInfo()
R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16)

[13] survival_2.37-4       xtable_1.7-1          zlibbioc_1.6.0

I'm checking to see if there's any functionality that breaks because of
this, but at the moment I'm not aware of any problems. Does this mean
that the error can be ignored? I found a link that suggested updating
the bioconductor install, but even after doing that the error still
persists.
