[R-pkg-team] Bug#959728: rmarkdown: css, fonts, etc missing

[Steffen Moeller]

Package: r-cran-rmarkdown
Version: 2.1+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Tests in nascent package pigx-rnaseq.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
This error message in the log file while running
        /usr/bin/Rscript --vanilla /home/moeller/git/med-team/pigx/pigx-rnaseq/scripts/runDeseqReport.R --logo=/home/moeller/git/med-team/pigx/pigx-rnaseq/images/Logo_PiGx.png --prefix='analysis1.salmon.transcripts' --reportFile=/home/moeller/git/med-team/pigx/pigx-rnaseq/scripts/deseqReport.Rmd --countDataFile=/home/moeller/git/med-team/pigx/pigx-rnaseq/tests/output/feature_counts/raw_counts/counts_from_SALMON.transcripts.tsv --colDataFile=/home/moeller/git/med-team/pigx/pigx-rnaseq/tests/output/colData.tsv --gtfFile=/home/moeller/git/med-team/pigx/pigx-rnaseq/tests/sample_data/sample.gtf --caseSampleGroups='HBR' --controlSampleGroups='UHR' --covariates='' --workdir=/home/moeller/git/med-team/pigx/pigx-rnaseq/tests/output/report --organism='' >> /home/moeller/git/med-team/pigx/pigx-rnaseq/tests/output/logs/analysis1.report.salmon.transcripts.log 2>&1

Can't copy dependency files that don't exist: '/usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap/css', '/usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap/fonts', '/usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap/js', '/usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap/shim'

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Well, one could possibly address this also by a better script of pigx-rnaseq, but the Debian package should not make unecessary compromises. We should have symlinks in place that point to the respective files in other Debian packages, such that the copy operation would have worked out just fine.
