[R-pkg-devel] Package submission failed with two warnings

[Duncan Murdoch]

For your first warning, see the CRAN policy:  "Updates to 
previously-published packages must have an increased version. Increasing 
the version number at each submission reduces confusion so is preferred 
even when a previous submission was not accepted."

For the second, it's hard to say what's happening.  Is your package 
online somewhere so we could try it on different machines?

> Why does it fail to create the “Rpvt.Rmd” file on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (Debian)? Is this something related to the citation style of the library.bib file that I’ve used in my vignettes folder? It is the “apa-6th-edition.csl” file downloaded from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citation-style-language/styles/master/apa-6th-edition.csl
