Re: [R] Fwd: Which external functions are called in a package?
No, sorry, I misunderstood your question. a) Read the NAMESPACE file of package B? If they use importFrom that would be specific enough. b) "Suggests" can refer to usage that does not even appear in the loaded package at all. c) Try asking in the r-package-devel mailing list?

This must be a general problem for package developers whose packages are depended on by many other CRAN packages. I've never worried too much about that for my packages. What matters is whether the changes I make cause trouble for other packages. Knowing the reverse dependencies lets me test all the other packages after making changes, and if new problems come up, it's usually pretty obvious which of my functions were being used. (I use some code I wrote for myself to run the tests with the old and new version of my package, but I believe there is similar code out there nowadays to do the comparison. I'd look in devtools if I was looking for that.)

Jeff, the problem is: There I see the packages that depend on mine, but not which functions are used Or maybe I misunderstood your comment.

Re: [R] Fwd: Which external functions are called in a package?
If you are so lucky as to have this problem, perhaps you could take a look at the reverse dependencies on your packages' CRAN web page.

[R] Fwd: Which external functions are called in a package?
You are absolutely right. I forgot that there is a difference between the unpacked and the installed directory of a package. The documentation of the *pkgapi* package in development is quite scarce and does not mention the details. Thanks for the tip. --HW PS: Still I would like to learn about other approaches for listing external calls of a package.
