Sf: Error: 'st_normalize' is not an exported object from 'namespace:sf'

I am trying to replicate the analysis in here. When I am trying to plot the first map with geom_sf I get the following error: Error: 'st_normalize' is not an exported object from 'namespace:sf'. The data I am using to plot (england_ext) is a sfobject

# … with 1,620 more rows, and 6 more variables: st_lengths <dbl>, year <chr>,
#   dependency <dbl>, quintile_dep <fct>, lab_dep <ord>, geometry <MULTIPOLYGON
#   [m]>

And the code I am using is:

 england_ext %>%
   filter(year == "2016") %>%
   mutate(lab_dep = gsub("[[:alpha:]]", "", lab_dep)) %>%
   rename(OADR = quintile_dep) %>%
   ggplot(aes(x = long, y = lat, fill = OADR)) + 
  geom_sf(colour = alpha("grey", 1 /3), size = 0.2)

With the information you provide, we cannot reproduce your problem. Have you tried updating sf?

[edugonzaloalmorox]

Yes. That was the problem - older version of sf. Many thanks and apologies for the inconvenience.
