Build error : Failed to retrieve package sources for MASS 7.3-60.0.1 from CRAN

Hi, thanks for creating such an amazing bookdown tool. I have been using it these days and have republished a manuscript multiple times with no error. But 2 days ago, I came across an error while republishing my latest writing:

My R version is 4.3.3 and I have installed the latest MASS package locally but still get the error. I saw a similar issue here. Don't know if it is also a hosting service issue. Can you help me out? Thank you.

It seems this package is not available somehow in cran.rstudio.com

You could try a previous MASS version, or wait for this package to be synced. We can't do much about that from our end unfortunately.

Thanks! I tried a previous MASS version and that worked!
It seems that rmarkdown::publish_site() also works.
