MetagenomeSeq won't install, error says it is not available for Bioconductor version

I am trying to update R and all packages after not working with it for a few years. I am on a MAC running Sonoma 14.6.1. I need to install MetagenomeSeq for some analysis work and am running into a problem installing it.

I have updated R to version 4.4.1 and R studio to Version 2024.09.0+375

I have installed BioConductor version 3.20 using the command install.packages("BiocManager")

I have verified that BiocManager is turned on in the packages tab of R Studio

I can install other packages using the command BiocManager::install("name_of_package",force=TRUE)

But when I try the command BiocManager::install("metagenomeSeq",force=TRUE)

I get the following error

Warning message: package ‘metagenomeSeq’ is not available for Bioconductor version '3.20'

A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere, see the ideas at https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages

I tried installing it directly in R instead of R studio and I get the same error.

The MetagenomeSeq page at https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/metagenomeSeq.html

Indicates that it should run with Bioconductor 3.20

I also tried the code listed on the bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/metagenomeSeq.html page

Any suggestions appreciated

It looks like that package is erroring out while testing on the Bioconductor build servers. As another commenter suggested, you can try installing the package directly from github, though I would contact the maintainers and see if they're still active. Alternatively, you can download a prior version of R and the correlated Bioconductor version and that should still work.
