Subject: R CMD check message: "The following files should probably not be installed"

I am doing [R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31) -- "Pumpkin Helmet?; Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit)]

> R CMD build DAAGviz
> R CMD check DAAGviz_1.0.3.tar.gz

Without a .Rinstignore file, I get:

<<<
The following files should probably not be installed:
  ?figs10.pdf?, ?figs11.pdf?, ?figs12.pdf?, ?figs13.pdf?, ?figs14.pdf?,
  ?figs5.pdf?, ?figs6.pdf?, ?figs9.pdf?

Consider the use of a .Rinstignore file: see ?Writing R Extensions?,
or move the vignette sources from ?inst/doc? to ?vignettes?.
>>>

The vignette sources were in ?vignettes? when DAAGviz_1.0.3.tar.gz was created.  There was nothing in the ?inst/doc? directory.


If I have in my .Rinstignore file

  inst/doc/.*[.]pdf

then I get:

<<<
* checking package vignettes in ?inst/doc? ... WARNING
Package vignettes without corresponding PDF/HTML:
. . .
>>>

What am I missing?  Can I ignore the "The following files should probably not be installed? message?
