Hi @royfrancis

Thanks for giving {zellkonverter} a go! The first error I think is because you are trying to install the most recent version of {zellkonverter} with an old version of R where you have older, incompatible versions of other Bioconductor packages. This is not supposed to work and I should probably have updated the R dependency in the last release to make that impossible.

The second one should work in theory, letting you install the correct versions for the Bioconductor 3.12 release. As you can see the error message isn't very helpful so I'm not sure how much I can help. Maybe there is a way to increase the size of the message? Are you able to install other Bioconductor packages this way?

I managed to install it on R 4.1.1
