[Bioc-devel] BiocInstaller

For an (older) version of R-devel, with BiocInstaller 1.5.12, I did
the following

I updated R-devel, to be current as of today.

I ran biocLite("BiocUpgrade") which updated BiocInstaller to 1.8.1.
Since 1.8.1 is what (as I understand it) identifies Bioc 2.11, I ran
useDevel(TRUE), which banged out with an error (see below).

Thanks Kasper; a work-around is, in a new R session,

   remove.packages("BiocInstaller")
   source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")

which should install BiocInstaller 1.9.*. We'll work on a fix...
