I'm seeing errors with R CMD check that I don't understand when checking a package that uses a NAMESPACE file with an import directive. The imported package is listed in the DESCRIPTION file in the Imports field.
DESCRIPTION contains: Imports: arules NAMESPACE contains: import(arules) The package builds without warnings and installs and loads just fine. But check has this to say: $ R CMD check DNAhelperseth_1.0.tar.gz [snip] * using Version 2.3.0 Under development (unstable) (2006-01-15 r37092) * checking for file 'DNAhelperseth/DESCRIPTION' ...
