Bookdown with pandoc-citeproc

Question

I have the latest version of bookdown package and Rstudio, and I'm on Arch Linux.

I updated pandoc-citeproc to its latest version and after that I started to receive the following error message:

pandoc: Error running filter /usr/lib/rstudio/bin/pandoc/pandoc-citeproc
fd:5: hClose: resource vanished (Broken pipe)
Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 83
Execution halted

Exited with status 1.

Regardless of the output type and even without references in the document, I get this error and the Rstudio preview is not generated. To view the generated document I have to open the index file in the browser and go giving F5 as I'm updating the document.

If I insert references the document is neither generated.

I searched in the AUR repository for other packages, uninstalled and re-installed pandoc-citeproc, but nothing solved.

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

I run Arch as well, and I also encountered this issue after upgrading to pandoc-citeproc-0.10.4.1-39 .

Temporarily solved by downgrading to pandoc-citeproc-0.10.4.1-37 . Super easy to do, provided you still have the package cached on your system:

• cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
• sudo pacman -U pandoc-citeproc-0.10.4.1-37-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
