I have re-checked was able to build most of the packages now, but 
hgu133a and GeneR where I got an error message like:

Warning message:
package ‘hgu133a’ is not available (for R version 2.15.1)

when trying to install it using:

/usr/bin/R --no-save --no-restore 
<<<'source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R"); biocLite("hgu133a")'

Maybe hgu133a has been removed from the repository? Concerning GeneR, I 
am sure that I have installed it from the bioc repository in the past.
