I am trying to install a local package and get this unexpected error:
---------- Making package UMSA ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing R files installing data files installing man source files installing indices Error: couldn't find function "na.omit" Execution halted
na.omit of course is in package stats, and that is listed in the Depends field in the DESCRIPTION file.
Check what is in your data directory. Does something in there use (implicitly) na.omit?
I have seen something like this (since 2.0.0) where a .R file in the
data/ directory used a function within the package, but that function
was not 'available' at the "installing indices" phase of the
check/build.
(INSTALL, actually.) That's a plausible explanation. From 200update.txt on developer.r-project.org
strategy, and found that by eliminating some files from the data subdirectory the error disappears and the
build completes. all of this files involves SPSS .sav files read with read.spss from package foreign
(I have latest version installed), and thereafter some data transformations.
However, moving the inflicted files to new test data only packages, they build without problems!
And, there is still left in my data subdirectory some SPSS .sav files which not makes problems.
Any ideas?

2) data/*.R files must be self-sufficient, and in particular not depend on the package or standard packages other than base. (This has always been documented, but is now enforced.)
