A problem has been observed with the version of BiocManager currently available at CRAN. Do not upgrade to 1.30.13.

If you have already done so, please use

remotes::install_github("Bioconductor/BiocManager", ref="ghost-binary-repo")

and restart R; this will provide BiocManager 1.30.13.1

If you run into problems with this please let me know.

Important fix to consider for GitHub Actions - the above solution fixed failing jobs. Example

This new version did not help me download org.Hs.eg.db by calling BiocManager::install("org.Hs.eg.db"). it reports: if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) install.packages("BiocManager") BiocManager::install(version = "3.12") The new version helped me downloaded pathview which had the same problem as this one. Anything I can do?

Please provide more information. Remember you have to restart R to take advantage of the updated BiocManager. Please give the full transcription of what happens as you run BiocManager::install('org.Hs.eg.db')

sorry, I copied the wrong thing. This is the report:

getOption("repos")' replaces Bioconductor standard repositories, see
'?repositories' for details

replacement repositories:
    CRAN: http://cran.rstudio.com/

Bioconductor version 3.12 (BiocManager 1.30.13.1), R 4.0.5 (2021-03-31)

and this:

Warning message:

  re-install: 'org.Hs.eg.db'

I kept changing CRAN Mirror but it did not work. I did restart and I had download pathview successfully after I restarted it yesterday. I'm using a Macbook Pro with OS 10.13.6. I tried BiocManager::install("org.Dr.eg.db") is shows the same message but it was downloaded successfully like this:

I tried the new version 1.30.13.14, the results were same.
