Hi there,

For some reason org-ref-helm-insert-cite-link is not working anymore
for me. When I try to execute it, I get the following error
helm-bibtex-candidates-formatter: Symbol’s function definition is
void: bibtex-completion-candidates-formatter

I don't use org-ref or helm-bibtex, but, based on poking around in their
repos, helm-bibtex removed bibtex-completion-candidates-formatter way
back in 390e9c3 (move helm-specific code to helm-bibtex.el, 2016-09-27),
which in turn led to 400c4f4 (use helm-bibtex-candidates-formatter,
2016-10-01) on org-ref's side.  So...

Does anybody know how to fix this?

... while it's not really a satisfying answer, I suspect your issue will
be fixed by uninstalling both packages, including the *.elc files, and
reinstalling.
