Does your package have methods in the Depends: line in its DESCRIPTION 
file?

Are its data files self-sufficient (that is work without either the 
package or methods being loaded)?

R-devel is under development and before release we will make detailed 
advice available to developers.  But see the draft at

	http://developer.r-project.org/200update.txt

It's almost certainly a problem with your package not loading methids when 
it needs to.
