When checking an R package of mine, I get

'Sys.setlocale' is not used in any of my R functions. What should I do to fix the Warning? I have never seen this before.

My locale is "sv_SE", on ubuntu 9.04

The logic is in src/library/tools/R/QC.R (.check_package_code_syntax). If I read correctly, the underlying reason could be that you have "Encoding: latin1" in DESCRIPTION.

For a workaround, you could play with the R_ENCODING_LOCALES environment variable (documented in R-exts), but I suspect it is easier just to install en_US.
