I have seen such error messages in the past, and the reason was always that the users read the manual of a newer version than they actually used. So, if you have the latest version, this is a new issue that I will be glad to go into. Please provide a minimal example that produces that error along with the result of sessionInfo(), otherwise I do not have sufficient information to analyze the issue.

Well, as obvious from your sessionInfo() results, you are using R 3.2.4 which is more than two years old. Since Bioconductor binds releases to the latest R version, you only have Bioconductor 3.3, which includes 'msa' version 1.2.1. The msaConvert() function has been introduced in 'msa' version 1.3.3. In order to use msaConvert(), you need to install a newer version of R (ideally R 3.5.0 or 3.5.1), otherwise you will not have access to the latest features.
