As alternative, just use R itself for it:

chooseBioCmirror()
setRepositories() # select BioC repositories here
install.packages("vsn")


Which should so the trick without any additional tools not shiped with R directly.

1) This is not the right mailing list for issues having to do with 
bioconductor. Please go to the bioconductor mailing list for that.

2) Running random scripts straight from the internet as root without reviewing 
them is exactly the kind of thing any experienced *nix user would never do. 
That is why user-level accounts have limits on the things they can do. I doubt 
you are supposed to be running anything with your current directory set to /, 
ever, especially not logged in as root.

I.e., all not directory files in / disappeared. This happens on two
systems.
