[BioC] XML package - 500 internal server error

[Maciej Jończyk]

Hi all,

are XML package available?

I've tried to install it from varius mirrors and it still fails,
giving error '500 Internal Server Error'.

I need it to install GEOquery and ArrayExpress. Installation of these 
packages failed because of XML package instalation failure.

In fact I'm not able to download XML_3.96-1.1.tar.gz or any other 
version from cran.

I've downgraded R from version 3 because
in  that version installator printed error - XML isn't available for 
that version of R.

I'm working on openSUSE 12.3

Here is my sessioninfo.
