[BioC] BioC 2.2 release update.packages error

[Elliot Kleiman]

Hi BioC,

When trying to update my R-2.7.2/BioC-2.2
release, the update script errs out,

# source the update file
 > source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
Warning messages:
1: In safeSource() : Redefining 'biocinstall'
2: In safeSource() : Redefining 'biocinstallPkgGroups'
3: In safeSource() : Redefining 'biocinstallRepos'

# update packages
 > update.packages(repos=biocinstallRepos(), ask=FALSE)
trying URL 'http://cran.fhcrc.org/src/contrib/XML_2.1-0.tar.gz'
Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :

In addition: Warning message:

[:Question:]
* What am I doing wrong here?
i.e., it used to work fine ...
