[Bioc-devel] Can't install Bioconductor 3.13 under Windows 10

[Gordon K Smyth]

I am currently unable to install any Bioconductor 3.13 packages using BiocManager for Windows. Here is a sample R session using R 4.1.0beta for Windows. Notice the first time I type `install("Biobase")` there is no error message but the package is not installed. The second time and subsequent times I use install() I get an error message mentioning `readRDS`.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Gordon
