OS -> Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

R version 4.1.2 (2021-11-01)

error message:
Warning: unable to access index for repository https://vipbg.vcu.edu/vipbg/OpenMx2/software/src/contrib:
cannot open URL 'https://vipbg.vcu.edu/vipbg/OpenMx2/software/src/contrib/PACKAGES'
Warning message:

pasting https://vipbg.vcu.edu/vipbg/OpenMx2/software/src/contrib:

into a browser returns Page not found

a very similar error I found in the forum by Ling Ahu

thank you

Hi
https://vipbg.vcu.edu/vipbg/OpenMx2/software/src/contrib works fine; https://vipbg.vcu.edu/vipbg/OpenMx2/software/src/contrib: fails as you note. Please remove the :

The other link to the PACKAGES file (https://vipbg.vcu.edu/vipbg/OpenMx2/software/src/contrib/PACKAGES) works fine for me - can you retry?

We will try to see what is wrong with support for R 4.1, but in the meantime you could try with R 4.3. We are seeing some lack of connection from non-VCU sites, about which we will inform our network administrators.
