[Bioc-devel] Error building package

Even though you did not make any changes to your package,  a dependency you use has changed.  This currently requires attention by you (and any other package / package maintainer affected) to make appropriate changes in your package code and to push up to bioconductor.org

The changes comes from an update in CRAN package knitr version 1.33.  See https://github.com/yihui/knitr/issues/1864 regarding the change.

The ERROR is very informative and following its advice by updating the Suggest of the package DESCRIPTION should remedy.

If your vignette is based on the vignette engine knitr::rmarkdown, you have to declare the dependency on
 rmarkdown, e.g.,

Suggests: rmarkdown
VignetteBuilder: knitr

If your vignette is based on the vignette engine knitr::markdown, you have to declare the dependency on
