[BioC] Error in bioClite instructions

[Peter.Robinson@t-online.de]

Dear list,

on the page
http://www.bioconductor.org/docs/install-howto.html

the command
biocLite(c("pkg1", "pkg2"))
is recommended to install pkg1 and pkg2. On my system (linux, R 2.1, Bioconductor 1.6), this gives an error:


> biocLite(c=("affyPLM"))

Running bioCLite version 0.1  with R version  2.1.1

Running biocinstall version 1.2  with R version  2.1.1
Warning: unable to access index for repository affyPLM

The following works:
> biocLite(pkgs=("affyPLM"))


Unless there is something strange going on in my installation, the installation instructions might need to be changed to this effect.

cheers & thanks for this wonderful tool!
Peter
