[Bioc-devel] biocinstall.R bug(?) : "lite" not installing affyio

[Martin Maechler]

Hmm, when I now rerun biocLite(),
'affyio' *is* installed. 

So, either, I the installation on Oct.5 I did had been
interrupted for some reason and there was never a bug,
or the bug was present only very initially.

Sorry for the noise.
