Dear all,

I encountered strange behavior of BiocManager::install(). When I ask it to install a package that is flagged as one with available updates, it gives me the option to upgrade immediately after I install the latest version. Not a big deal but thought it should not offer that possibility. See my latest test:

==========

> BiocManager::install("VennDiagram")
'getOption("repos")' replaces Bioconductor standard repositories, see
'?repositories' for details
