BiocManger::install(version='devel') doesn't work for me.

This is what happens:

> BiocManager::install(version = 'devel')
Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors
 

I was able to identify the problem on line 23 of the install package, when .install_n_invalid_pkgs is called. When I run install, `valist` in install (and thus `valid` in .install_n_invalid_pkgs) is just TRUE, rather than a list, as the function expects. So the problem seems to lie in the .valid() function.

I installed Bioconductor first, and then it worked. I didn't know Bioconductor needed to already be installed.

What exactly do you mean by 'installed Bioconductor'?  Can you provide the code you ran, so if anyone else finds this post they can run it to?

I can see the problem in the code and we will fix, thanks for the report. See this issue.
