[BioC] outdated version of 'affy' in biocLite ?

[Talloen, Willem [PRDBE]]

dear all,

The package installation for the R version 2.4 on our Linux server stopped -
apparently because of an outdated version of affy (see error message below).

A more general question - has anybody an helpful suggestion how to maintain
R and its BioC packages on a server? Our informaticians are getting annoyed
with our frequent questions about adding or updating packages, and also with
the dependencies between versions of the different packages. I thought to
apply BiocLite more routinely now that we are switching to 2.4, but this
-again- doesn't work out as smoothly as we hoped it to be.

thanks in advance,
Willem
