Version map cannot be validated - not mapping to new bioconductor website #183

Description

@aehrenberg

Submitting the basic installation command for Bioconductor:
if (!require("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) install.packages("BiocManager") BiocManager::install(version = "3.18")

in R (version 4.3.0) returns the following error:
Error: Bioconductor version cannot be validated; no internet connection? See #troubleshooting section in vignette

None of the suggested solutions I've found online (adjusting the proxy/firewall settings, ensuring internet connection, etc) have helped.

The documentation suggests that the version map can be found at https://bioconductor.org/config.yaml which, as of today (11/13/2023), cannot be reached. There is a version map I can reach through the new bioconductor website at this link, though, https://new.bioconductor.org/config.yaml.

It seems like the version map cannot be validated because the bioconductor.org/config.yaml is a broken link, whereas the new.bioconductor.org/config.yaml would work. Can this be fixed?
