[BioC] Organism annotation package created with makeOrgPackage doesn't install properly

[Lasse Nielsen [guest]]

I work with the plant Sorghum bicolor and want to make my own organism annotation package. I created package with makeOrgPackage and also tried the example in: http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/AnnotationForge/inst/doc/MakingNewOrganismPackages.html

They both were created without any errors. Following the example i try to install the package by typing in:

install.packages("./org.Tguttata.eg.db", repos=NULL)

after which i get the error:

Error in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) : 
  cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) : error 1 in extracting from zip file
2: In read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) :
  cannot open compressed file 'org.Tguttata.eg.db/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory'

If i zip the file i'm able to install it, but then and error occurs when loading the library:

Error in library("org.Tguttata.eg.db") : 
  ‘org.Tguttata.eg.db’ is not a valid installed package
