My approximate understanding of Italian points me in the direction
of you having not the necessary rights to write into the directory.
My (wild) guess is that you installed the debian R package, and
then try to install bioconductor packages as a regular user.

You may want to try running 'sudo R' rather than 'R'
(being aware that the installation scripts will run with administrator's
rights).
