Hello list, I encountered the following problem while trying to install the latest bioconductor 2.1 release: both biocLite() and getBioC() detect that the latest R-release 2.6.0 is a development version (which is NOT the case; I double checked it!). As a result, bioconductor development libraries are being installed, which will fail due to dependency problems (wrong versions of the different required libraries etc). Please fix this!

If you read this line ^^^^^ you will note that it states it is installing version 2.1, which was released on Monday (and hence is _not_ the development version).
