This is occurring in the context of an automated testing environment 
that compares the output of GnuR and FastR. I'm using 
tools::testInstalledPackage with the default values for 'types'. I guess 
the problem is that there is no connection between this step and the 
previous package install step (that did use --install-tests) but didn't 
install the "Suggests" dependencies because in general these are not 
needed. But I still am not clear why knitr doesn't list rmarkdown as a 
dependency when it clearly will try to use it. To me that is is not  
"Suggests" dependency.
