Actually, getBioC and biocLite are fairly straight forward wrappers to
install.packages.  They pass '...' arguments to install.packages and
so Anna's use of installWithVers is valid and expected to work.

And for me it does.

Anna, can you try the following:

      rep = "http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.0/bioc"
      install.packages("Biobase", repos=rep, installWithVers=TRUE)

I would also be curious to understand your motivation for wanting
installWithVers.  BioC packages are developed for a particular R
release and in general I would not expect BioC packages developed
older R's to work with current R's.
