I can confirm that the build log contains URL 'http://bioconductor.org/BiocInstaller.dcf': status was 'Couldn't connect to server' when using pbuilder or sbuild. I guess the problem remained hidden since so far nobody did a tcpdump while building the package and since the build runs fine after checking that the resource is not available nobody noticed so far. I admit I'm a bit clueless how to fix the issue since the build process of R packages is a bit "encapsulated" and I'm afraid about simply seeking the said URL and patching it out. I'm not sure about the potential side effects for the resulting deb at package installation time. Thus I'm forwarding the bug to Debian Science list for further advise. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
