I just updated my R version from 4.0.2 to 4.1.1. I could install packages by BiocManager::install() while I was using R 4.0.2. However, I cannot install packages by BiocManager::install() while I am using R 4.1.1. I am able to install packages by using install.packages, but BiocManager::install() does not work in my computer for R 4.1.1. Please see the error message below.

Thank you very much in advance! Kindest regards, Julie

As a temporary fix you can use chooseBioCmirror(local.only = TRUE) to select a Bioconductor mirror to install from.

chooseBioCmirror(local.only = TRUE)  
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("limma")

This gives the same error:

'getOption("repos")' replaces Bioconductor standard repositories, see '?repositories' for details

replacement repositories: CRAN: https://cran.rstudio.com/

The server has been restored. Could you please try again now that the repositories should be accessible? If not, also do not see an ERROR message just a message that indicates a repository is being replaced? After installing BiocManager, what does BiocManager::valid() produce?

I am having the exact same problem:

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

replacement repositories:
    CRAN: https://cloud.r-project.org

Bioconductor version 3.13 (BiocManager 1.30.16), R 4.1.1 (2021-08-10)
Installing package(s) 'BiocVersion', 'edgeR'
also installing the dependencies ‘limma’, ‘locfit’

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
