Hi, I have installation of R in a server running on redhat 7. I have upgraded R and now to upgrade BiocManager I get error messages as below:

Likely what you have done is updated your R but reused your installed packages library. A better strategy is to make sure that the .libPaths() are unique to each version of R + Bioconductor; discussed a bit ironically in the BiocManager vignette.

To continue down the path that you're on, in a new R session could try to

remove.packages("BiocVersion")     # repeat until there are no versions to remove
BiocManager::install()
BiocManager::valid()

and then proceed to update packages by cut / paste the output of BiocManager::valid()
