Hi, Thanks for applying the patch.
Yes, the optional dependency is broken, and the package development/libraries/science/biology/bioconductor/bioconductor.nix is also broken (outdated+obvious spelling errors+bad arguments+there is a circular dependency between R and bioconductor). I tried to resolve these issues without success. R has its own separate package system (like cabal for Haskell) and everything can be installed easily in the user's home directory including bioconductor (which is a separate kind of R package collection). It seems to me that bioconductor.nix tries to be a common interface for bioconductor packages like buildPythonPackage is for Python, but was never finished (according to svn it was last updated 2 years ago by pjotrp with the following log: - Trying bioconductor packages with R-lang (still failing) ).
