Judging by the traceback, only data frames that have a Package column
should have a findFn class:

9: PackageSummary(xi)
8: `[.findFn`(x, needconv)
7: x[needconv]
6: lapply(x[needconv], as.character)
5: utils::write.table(df1, "df1.csv", col.names = NA, sep = ",",
       dec = ".", qmethod = "double")

write.table sees columns that aren't of type character yet and tries to
convert them one by one, subsetting the data frame as a list. The call
lands in sos:::`[.findFn`

    if (missing(j)) {
        xi <- x[i, ]
        attr(xi, "PackageSummary") <- PackageSummary(xi)
        class(xi) <- c("findFn", "data.frame")
        return(xi)
    }

Subsetting methods are hard. For complex structures like data.frames,
`[.class` must handle all of x[rows,cols]; x[rows,]; x[,cols];
x[columns]; x[], and also respect the drop argument:

I think that the `[.findFn` method mistakes x[needconv] for
x[needconv,] when it should instead perform x[,needconv].
