If you look at the full report

   https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.5/bioc-LATEST/

you'll see that hundreds of packages were victims of that problems
during yesterday builds. This is a problem we see sometimes on the
Windows builders. We're working on it.

The problem should clear out in a couple of hours when the report
gets updated with the results of today's builds.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hard to know for sure without knowing the details of the build error but
if your package is trying to access some remote resource then it could
be that it failed 10 days ago because that resource was momentarily
unavailable.
