I installed R 4.0.3 and Rstudio. Then I installed BiocManager by the following command.

Operation:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install(version="3.11")

The response:

Bioconductor version 3.11 (BiocManager 1.30.10), R 4.0.3 (2020-10-10)

So it seems ok.

But I CAN'T succeed to install GEOquery.

Operation:

BiocManager::install("GEOquery" )

It seems something wrong is with BiocGeneric.

Could anyone help me? Thank you in advance. I spent a few hours on it but just cann't solve it.

This looks like a download issue. I can't reproduce the error with Bioconductor 3.11 installing GEOquery and BiocGenerics. I would suggest you try again.
