Dear All,

I just noticed (failures installing a bunch of BioC packages in new R 
installations) that aCGH depends on "sma", but sma is no longer available. 
Thus, the recommended procedure

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("aCGH")
will fail. And any package which depends on aCGH (e.g., snapCGH) will fail to 
install too.

I guess this is a bug in sma but, if I understand correctly, it should not be 
possible for a package to fail the standard installation procedure for the 
stable release?



Best,

R.

P.D. sma used to be available in CRAN, so it is possible to get an old version 
from 
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/sma/
install that, and then install aCGH. 


### this is one example; it fails on at least two other different systems too.
