That's not the right thing to be sourcing these days.

source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite(groupName="all")

Will do what you want. However, do you _really_ want all the packages? 
That is a whole lotta stuff to be downloading if you aren't going to be 
using it.

Starting with the default and installing specific packages that you know 
you will be using is probably a more pragmatic way to proceed.

Best,

Jim
