Hi Christopher, It looks like the knitcitations package is no longer on CRAN. Heading to https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/knitcitations/index.html results in:
Package ‘knitcitations’ was removed from the CRAN repository. Formerly available versions can be obtained from the archive. Archived on 2020-10-27 as reauired archived package 'RefManageR'. My guess is the release branch has a copy of knitcitations installed from before it was removed from CRAN, so you don't see the error, but a fresh R installation using either release or devel would throw the same problem. The latest commit message to https://github.com/cboettig/knitcitations is 'prep for release', so it looks likely that the author of knitcitations is addressing the CRAN issue. I would hang tight for a while longer and hope it gets smoothed out there.
