Subject: [Rd] Package Name Not Found Warning
Message-ID: <20110420100014.BLN40994@gimr.garvan.unsw.edu.au>

Hello,

I've got a DESCRIPTION file with a the first line:

Package: Repitools

But, when I run R CMD INSTALL Repitools I get:

* installing *source* package Repitools ...
** R
** data
** inst
** preparing package for lazy loading
Warning in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) :
  Created a package name, "2011-04-20 09:05:40", when none found
** help
*** installing help indices
** building package indices ...
** testing if installed package can be loaded

* DONE (Repitools)

It looks like it knows about the package name at the start and end of the process, but not in the middle of it.

Loading the packing in an R session and looking at the sessionInfo shows the package name was properly processed. Is this a spurious warning ?

I'm using:
R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13)
Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit) (actually Ubuntu 10.10)
