Hello,
I'm having troubles in upgrading to Bioconductor 3.3 after installing R 3.3.0. It looks like only Bioconductor 3.2 is available? I'm probably missing something simple here:
$ R --vanilla
R version 3.3.0 (2016-05-03) -- "Supposedly Educational"

Bioconductor version 3.2 (BiocInstaller 1.20.2), ?biocLite for help
A new version of Bioconductor is available after installing the most recent
version of R; see http://bioconductor.org/install

Using Bioconductor 3.2 (BiocInstaller 1.20.2), R 3.3.0 (2016-05-03).
> biocLite("BiocUpgrade")
Error: Bioconductor version 3.2 cannot be upgraded with R version 3.3.0
What am I doing wrong? How do I upgrade to Bioconductor 3.3?
Thanks,
The release version of BiocInstaller is 1.22.1 (see http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/BiocInstaller.html). Somehow you are not getting that loaded. R CMD REMOVE BiocInstaller might work; followed by the source of biocLite.R as you attempted. If it doesn't work, check your .libPaths() value.
For removing BiocInstaller I needed to remove it from all libraries, I run R in Linux Terminal:
"sudo R" then I listed my libraries: ".libPaths()", after that I removed all of them:
remove.packages("BiocInstaller",lib = "/usr/lib/R/library") remove.packages("BiocInstaller",lib = "/home/halil/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.3)Yes, see Troubleshoot BiocInstaller.
Probably you've installed your new R over your old R, .libPaths() is length 1 and points to a system-wide R location. Once you've managed to get the correct version of BiocInstaller, be sure to run biocValid() and update as necessary.
A better strategy is to install R as administrator, but install any additional packages as a regular user. R will then create a version- and user-specific library in your home directory, where you'll have full control over updating packages. It may also be helpful to make an R-and-Bioc version and user-specific directory, as outlined on the Using the ‘Devel’ Version of Bioconductor page.
Thanks both! Removing BiocInstaller did the trick.
