Hi,
I am trying to download devel version of minfi , I got an error due to dependency error of bump hunter library
Any idea?

Thanks Martin. It works. I installed minfi/bump hunter in a separate R session. In addition, I restarted the old R session to load the library.
I do not fully understand the database of available packages in my R session is stale?
R builds an index of installed and available packages; my best guess about why biocLite() asked for version 1.13.0 was that this index was out-of-date, and that starting a new R session would force R to update the index. In truth I really don't have a good explanation for why R tried to install the incorrect version of bumphunter.
