I am trying to use the BiocLite() feature of Bioconductor to install
the R modules required by MetaboAnalyst 3.0 under Ubuntu Xenial
16.04LTS with its system R 3.2.3 release. I have added the repo for
Micheal Rutter's cran2deb4ubuntu to provide the missing cran R modules
but have avoided installing any of the r-bioc ones to keep the
installation purely using those installed in /usr/local/lib/R by
BiocLite(). Unfortunately, this is failing on
$ sudo R
> source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R";)
> biocLite("‘AnnotationDbi")
BioC_mirror: https://bioconductor.org
Using Bioconductor 3.2 (BiocInstaller 1.20.3), R 3.2.3 (2015-12-10).
Installing package(s) ‘‘AnnotationDbi’
Warning message:
package ‘‘AnnotationDbi’ is not available (for R version 3.2.3)
>
Certainly there must be a way to redirect BiocLite to a legacy release
which fully supports the older R 3.2.3 in the current Ubuntu LTS
release?
