I was trying to use the DECIPHER package today and it was not supporting even the examples in the manual. When I checked, I was using an old version (v 1.16.1). It was strange because I just installed it with:
source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite("DECIPHER")
Thus, I installed manually the more recent version available:
install.packages("~/DECIPHER_2.0.2.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type="source")
And now it seems to be ok with the manual. Why the biocLite function is installing this old version?
Updated to Erik Wright and Julian Gehring. I am using the R 3.3.0 as showed below:
> sessionInfo() R version 3.3.0 (2016-05-03) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 [5] LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 [7] LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NAME=C [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] stats4 parallel stats graphics grDevices utils datasets [8] methods base other attached packages: [1] BiocInstaller_1.20.3 DECIPHER_2.0.2 RSQLite_1.0.0 [4] DBI_0.4-1 Biostrings_2.38.4 XVector_0.10.0 [7] IRanges_2.4.8 S4Vectors_0.8.11 BiocGenerics_0.16.1 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] zlibbioc_1.16.0 tools_3.3.0
And below you can see the behavior of the biocLite() function with the above 'version setting' (already with the last DECIPHER version):

There is just one more recent R version, which is not even launched. I am missing something?
What version of R / Bioconductor are you using? You can find this out from the output of
sessionInfo()
andbiocVersion()
?Hi Julian. Please check my update. I was unable to identify what was wrong with my versions.
