Dear Prof. Ripley and Prof. Winsemius,
I have deleted the .Rapp.history (hope, it was all of them), but still
got the same message when run the R CMD check PkgName.
I'll shutdown the laptop, start a fresh session and will rename the R
functions for the package and the package itself differently.
Then I will see what happened and report it here.
You are supposed to check the tarball produced by R CMD build ....
Many thanks for the respond and thoughts.
With kind regards,
Ema

It seems the OP did not use R CMD build, rather R CMD check.
But files like man/.Rapp.history will need to be removed manually.
