That doesn't work - additional repositories are not allowed on CRAN other than
in very exceptional cases, because it means the package cannot be installed by
users making it somewhat pointless. Bioconductor doesn't need to be flagged in
Additional_repositories, but not all packages are available - only those that
do no depend on the data repository.
As for the OP, can you post the name of the package and/or the link to the
errors so I can have a look?
