  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Please try 

    sudo apt-get install highlight

We do not pre-test for this as clearly as we maybe should. It is also 'just'
in the pdf-creation so we have not added it to SystemRequirements. Maybe we
should.

In short, 'highlight' has become overloaded as there is Romain's on CRAN and
Andre's in Debian and elsewhere.  Some of Andre's code may end up in Romain's
R package at which point we may no longer require the external binary.
