[Bioc-devel] Why can't I install parallel?

I switched from using multicore to parallel a couple of weeks ago. Today I removed parallel to test behaviour when it is absent. When I tried to re-install it, I got:
source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
BiocInstaller version 1.1.28, ?biocLite for help
biocLite('parallel')
BioC_mirror: 'http://www.bioconductor.org' Using R version 2.15, BiocInstaller version 1.1.28. Installing package(s) 'parallel' Warning message: In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) : package 'parallel' is not available (for R Under development)
parallel is distributed with R so not available in the CRAN repositories; the easiest solution is to re-install R. Since parallel is distributed with R, there's no scenario where a valid R installation will not have parallel. In terms of re-installing R, it can be really helpful to have agreed to R's suggestion to use a library outside the R installation tree, something like ~/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.15 on Linux. Re-installing R then does not require re-installation of your current packages. Martin
And now I can't load it at all. Anyone know what happened and/or what I am doing wrong? I reverting to multicore in the meantime?
Cheers-
Rory
