~~I am trying to update my bioconductor to the latest version (3.0+). I currently have R 3.2.1 and Bioconductor 2.28. When I run BiocUpdate, it just reinstalls 2.28. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Bioconductor, but still only got 2.28.~~

~~The reasoning is that a package I am running (phyloseq) is having an error that the developer doesn't recognize. He suggested updating to the latest version of Bioconductor & R to fix it. I have updated my R version, but am unable to update my Bioconductor.~~

~~Any suggestions to install Bioconductor 3.0 or 3.1?~~

**Edit: There was a misunderstanding in how to tell what version of Bioconductor I have.**

**The best way to check the version of Bioconductor is to compare your version of BiocInstaller (a package within R once Bioconductor is installed) with the Bioconductor website.**
As of about R 3.2.0, the way to get the associated Bioconductor version is to run the non-exported built-in function:

```r
> tools:::.BioC_version_associated_with_R_version()
[1] '3.1'
```

Mind the `.` in front of the `BioC`.

That said, it may be possible for some installed packages to have been sourced from a different BioC version.
