As an aside, I would recommend keeping current with the development
version of reposTools at least (which requires the devel version of
Biobase), as there have been some major enhancements over the last week
(there will be a few more mostly cosmetic and "ease of use" changes in the
next couple of days as well).

Hmmm.
This works for me here.

can you try two things for me?
1) rep <-
getReposEntry("http://www.bioconductor.org/repository/release1.1/package/")

If that doesn't work then:

2) rep <- url("http://www.bioconductor.org")
   readLines(rep)

See if either of those gives you anything valid.
