After
* sudo apt-get remove r-cran-rmarkdown
* sudo rm  /usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap-3.3.5
* sudo apt-get install r-cran-rmarkdown

The issue is solved for me. I did the second step because the first
step gave me some warnings:

Removing r-cran-rmarkdown (1.10+dfsg-2) ...
dpkg: warning: while removing r-cran-rmarkdown, directory
'/usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap-3.3.5/js' not empty
so not removed
dpkg: warning: while removing r-cran-rmarkdown, directory
'/usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap-3.3.5/fonts' not
empty so not removed
dpkg: warning: while removing r-cran-rmarkdown, directory
'/usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/h/bootstrap-3.3.5/css' not
empty so not removed

I am not sure if you want to keep the ticket open, so I leave that
decision to you.

Thanks
Ralf
