I am trying to install the package Herper which is available for R 4.1 but am getting an error that has been noted before. I've tried the solutions there, but am still not able to install Herper. Any help on what I'm missing would be appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately, if you take a look at the landing page for Herper at http://bioconductor.org/packages/3.14/bioc/html/Herper.html you currently see a "timeout" message for the build status.

This means the package is taking so long for the Bioconductor build system to process that it gives up and Herper is not currently available for either Mac OS X or Linux.

I would suggest emailing the maintainer of the package directly (their email is also on that page) and encouraging them to look into the issue, as it's a bit useless now, as you've found out.
