[R-SIG-Mac] Too many dependencies with BioConductor packages?

[Gad Abraham]

Hi,

I've tried to use R.app Package Installer to install the BioConductor 
package GOstats, with "install dependencies" checked, but R proceeded to 
download many other packages before I killed it:

(this is the temporary downloaded_packages directory)
$ ls
AffymetrixDataTestFiles_0.1.1.tgz R.oo_1.4.8.tgz 
affxparser_1.16.0.tgz             makePlatformDesign_1.8.0.tgz
R.methodsS3_1.0.3.tgz             R.utils_1.1.7.tgz 
hapmap100kxba_1.3.2.tgz           pd.mapping50k.xba240_0.4.1.tgz

These aren't in the Depends of GOstats, 
http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/GOstats.html, 
which lists:
Depends  Biobase , Category , graph

Without "install dependencies" checked, it installs fine.

I'm using 2.9.0 from CRAN, BioC 2.4.0, OS X 10.5.7.

Thanks,
Gad
