Issues installing the BH package

[walkenhorst]

When I try to install the BH package in R version 3.4.2, I get the following errors: ``

Or if I try to download and then install it as a tar.gz file: ``

I've tried the following 2 repositories and get the same error: Global (CDN) - RStudio https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/BH_1.66.0-1.tar.gz Australia (Melbourne 1) [https] - AARNET https://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/3.4/BH_1.66.0-1.zip

It may be your mirror or your local networking. There are a number of packages which depend on BH, and they frequently get rebuilt by users, on Travis CI or of course on CRAN. There is no actual issue.

Quick check:

Yes, appears to be a network issue, when I disconnect from my work vpn (I'm working remotely) and connect directly to the internet and download the package, I have been able to install it manually (download first and then install from local file). Apologoes for the false alarm and thanks for your advice!
