Did you find the answer @RogerRodrigo1 ?? I have the same issue. I tried updating TinyTex and rmarkdown. But it did not work.

[yihui]

@balachandarkaliappan Please see my reply above. Just like @RogerRodrigo1, you didn't provide any information required by the issue guide. Without you providing the necessary information first, there's no way we could help. Thanks!

[bkaliappan]

@yihui Thanks for your reply. This is my first question in github - so I did not know how to write it properly. I had similar issue to @RogerRodrigo1.

While knitting it always throwed a message saying "TeX Live 2019 is frozen forever and will no
longer be updated. This happens in preparation for a new release."

Later, I followed your debugging guidelines given here- https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging. This solved my issue. Now, I am able to knit documents as pdf file. Thanks!

TeX Live 2019 is frozen forever and will no longer be updated. This happens in preparation for a new release.

You can safely ignore this message. It appears every year around March (when a new TeX Live release is about to come).
