Hi Steve,

Thanks for the report.  The real bug here is that getBioC() pulled in
reposTools at all.  We are now relying entirely on CRAN-style package
repositories.  The reposTools stuff is deprecated --- we are not
hosting repositories that will work for it (except for old BioC
versions).

So to install packages, we recommend:

    source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")

OR

    source("http://bioconductor.org/getBioC.R")

And then

    getBioC("somePackageHere")

OR

    biocLite("somePackageHere")

Either one should pullin dependencies, etc.  If you want to see a list
of the repositories that we host for the BioC packages try:

    library("Biobase")
    biocReposList()

Best,

+ seth
