Works fine here:

R> library(doSNOW)
Loading required package: foreach
Loading required package: iterators
Loading required package: codetools
foreach: simple, scalable parallel programming from Revolution Analytics
Use Revolution R for scalability, fault tolerance and more.

As we (by default and design) cannot update a "stable" release, I suggest you
simply remove the r-cran-dosnow package and install the current one from CRAN
manually.
