Thank you both, with your help I managed to reproduce the error, and it's now
fixed.
If anyone else runs into a similar issue:
1. The core issue was due to a deprecation warning (specifically regarding
survival::survConcordance.fit). During vignette generation a very large number
of deprecation warnings were thrown, which overloaded TeX. Changing the
survival::survConcordance.fit call to the updated survival::concordancefit
fixed the problem.
2. The cause of the reproducibility issue is less clear. I initially tested
using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS running on Windows through WSL, which seemed to work.
However, subsequent tests on a true Ubuntu 20.04 Linux machine failed. My
tentative conclusion is that Ubuntu 20.04 LTS running through WSL is not the
most reliable build host for BioC packages.
Best wishes,
Mark

Hi Mark,
I can reproduce this on my laptop (Ubuntu 20.10, R 4.0.3, BioC 3.12):

Welcome to Bioconductor
Vignettes contain introductory material; view with
'browseVignettes()'. To cite Bioconductor, see
'citation("Biobase")', and for packages 'citation("pkgname")'.
Error: processing vignette 'messina.Rnw' failed with diagnostics:

If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.

I'm surprised you can't reproduce this. What platform are you on?
My understanding is that the Docker images were intentionally kept light
so this is why they don't have TeX/LaTeX and other things needed to run
'R CMD build' on a package.
Since we see the error in release and devel, I suspected a change in a
CRAN package involved in the vignette knitting process. I tried to
downgrade knitr from 1.32 to 1.31 but that didn't solve the problem.
Then I downgraded xfun from 0.22 to 0.21 but that didn't help either.
So I gave up.
Sorry for not being able to help more.
Best,
H.
