Hi all!

I installed version 1.9 of R and also devel version of Bioconductor 
libraries. But I found the following problems. I will be grateful if somebody else can give me 
some hint....


1. I couldn't install all BioC package througth  getBioC(relLevel="devel",libName="all")
  	Loading required package: reposTools
	Warning messages:
	1: 'package.description' is deprecated.
	Use 'packageDescription' instead.
	See help("Deprecated")
	2: 'package.description' is deprecated.
	Use 'packageDescription' instead.
	See help("Deprecated")
	3: cannot open: HTTP status was `404 Not Found'
	Note: http://www.bioconductor.org/repository/release1.2/package/Source 
	does not seem to have a valid repository, skipping
	Error in repPkgInfos(reposEntry, pkg, type) :
        No direct or inherited method for function "repPkgInfos" for this call

2.  Then I just install the default packages (getBioC(relLevel="devel")) 
But I got the following Segmentation fault error while I run mva.pairs 
function. See output:

	library(affy)
