Warning message:

Note the warning *and* ERROR.
Is this the intended behavior of install.packages() when installing
from binaries?
Hervé,
yes, I think so. If you ask to install a package, it is installed unless
it cannot be installed (as it was the case since R had to load Biobase
which was unavailable).
Best,
Uwe
Thanks,
H.
PS: Sorry I don't have access to an R-2.13 installation where I can
test this at the moment.
