Hi there,
I'm a student using BiocManager to install R packages, my R version is R 4.4.2, and my Bioconductor version is 3.20 (BiocManager 1.30.26).
Today I found that I cannot install any package using
BiocManager::install()
For example, when I needed to install the package "VariantAnnotation", I typed
BiocManager::install("VariantAnnotation")
and it showed below:
'getOption("repos")' replaces Bioconductor standard repositories, see
'help("repositories", package = "BiocManager")' for details.
Replacement repositories:
CRAN: https://cran.rstudio.com/
Error in readRDS(dest): unknown input format.
I have tried several methods incluing re-install BiocManager, re-start R Studio and using install.packages() to install such packages, but all of them failed to install.
It is really miserable and I'm really appreciate it if any help can be given by you specialists and geeks.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you sooo much!
I'm not able to reproduce this yet. Can you provide your
sessionInfo()and also what is the output ofBiocManager::repositories()andgetOption("repos")Hi,
I am also unable to reproduce the issue.
It may be that the download of the internal package database was corrupted.
Please make sure that your institution is not blocking connections and try re-installing the package.
As noted, provide the output of
sessionInfo().Best regards,
Marcel
