[BioC] biomaRt installation: unable to download XML library

[raffaele.calogero at unito.it]

Hi,
I am trying to install, on a linux machine, biomaRt
I used:
biocLite("biomaRt")
the installation however fails due to the foolwing error:
> biocLite("biomaRt")
Running biocinstall version 2.2.9 with R version 2.7.0
Your version of R requires version 2.2 of BioConductor.
also installing the dependency ‘XML’

trying URL
'http://cran.fhcrc.org/src/contrib/XML_1.95-3.tar.gz'
Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb",
...) :
  cannot open URL
'http://cran.fhcrc.org/src/contrib/XML_1.95-3.tar.gz'

I tryed to download XML package directly from R CRAN but I
get:
IWSS Security Event (itdmzas055)
InterScan Web Security detected the following in HTTP
traffic:
Item: http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/XML_1.95-3.tar.gz
Action: deleted
Reason: Violation of a compressed file restriction
-- File: XML_1.95-3.tar.gz, security warning:
Corrupted_Zip_file
The uncleanable file is deleted

This happen also for older versions of the library.

Any idea where an uncorrupted version of the XML library
can be found?
