[Bioc-devel] GenomeInfoDB SeqInfo function error

[Dario Righelli]

Hello everyone,

I'm using in DEScan2 package the GenomeInfoDb::Seqinfo function with genome="mm10".

And sometimes it appens to retrieve this error message

"cannot open the connection to 'ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/all/GCF/000/001/635/GCF_000001635.20_GRCm38/GCF_000001635.20_GRCm38_assembly_report.txt'"

Even if the the file is reachable.

I noticed it because I received an ERROR report from the bioconductor test bot.
I have a unit test for my package that doesn't pass on linux, but it works on other machines.

Looking on the Internet, this seems like an old (solved) problem.

What do you suggest to do?

thanks,
dario
