[R-SIG-Mac] odd warning looking up Bioconductor packages

[Federico Calboli]

Hi All,

I am using R version 3.4.3 Patched (2017-12-05 r73849) R.app GUI 1.70 (7463) x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 on MacOS 10.13.2.  Using R.app I am looking for Bioconductor packages, and using the package installer I get the following warning:

Warning: unable to access index for repository http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/3.6/extra/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.4:
  cannot open URL 'http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/3.6/extra/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.4/PACKAGES’

despite the fact I do get a list of available packages (screenshot attached).

I emailed the bioconductor devs but it is not clear what is going on, aside than my R is looking for a webpage that is a 404.  I was wondering whether this is a peculiarity of my own machine or whether it has been encountered elsewhere.  Assuming it is my machine, is there a way of making said warning go away?

Cheers

F
