retitle 991566 r-cran-bookdown: Please package version 0.25
severity 991566 grave
thanks

Hello,

I just followed the instructions given at 
https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/get-started.html but I installed the debian 
version of the packages instead. 
The command `Rscript -e "bookdown::render_book('index.Rmd', 
'bookdown::gitbook')"` gives me the following error message:

```

```

I reported this bug upstream, but they closed it saying that the bookdown 
package is ways too old to be of any use, and that I should install the package 
directly instead. They are right in some sense, but I'd prefer to use the 
Debian packages if possible.

Could you please update the package? I'm tagging the bug as grave since the 
package seems unusable as is.

Thanks in advance,
Mt
