Research direction
Start by reproducing BiocManager::repositories() with Bioconductor 3.15 and 3.16, then inspect the repository configuration that adds the reported book entry. Done means the command no longer reports a repository that is absent from bioconductor.org, with behavior verified for both versions.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
When using Bioconductor 3.15 or 3.16, the command BiocManager::repositories() reports that the book repository is available, but the repository does not appear to exist on bioconductor.org.
