R CMD check warning about boot ?

# 
Running R CMD check on a local package, I get

* checking Rd files ... OK
* checking Rd cross-references ... WARNING
Error in .find.package(package, lib.loc) :
        there is no package called 'boot'
Execution halted
* checking for missing documentation entries ... OK
* checking for code/documentation mismatches ... OK

The output is spurious -- I do not use boot, but do have it installed.

This is with R-patched as of Nov 25 as well as Nov 03. Am I overlooking
something, or is this a buglet?

Actually, the question is where boot is installed.  The code does

    aliases <-
        lapply(unlist(.get_standard_package_names()[c("base",
                                                      "recommended")],
                      use.names = FALSE),
               Rd_aliases, lib.loc = .Library)
                                     ********

The boot package loads fine, and is current.  Why does R CMD check think it
is an error that boot happens to live in a particular directory, for as long
as that directory is known to .libPaths() ?
