This is rw2010 from CRAN. When running Rcmd check on a package I get: Warning in utils::data(list = al, envir = data_env) : data set 'vowel.test' not found Warning in utils::data(list = al, envir = data_env) : data set 'vowel.train' not found Warning in utils::data(list = al, envir = data_env) : data set 'waveform.test' not found Warning in utils::data(list = al, envir = data_env) : data set 'waveform.train' not found However, I have no problem with this when using the package. This datasets are loaded, multiple datasets at a time, under another name. data(vowel) loads the two first in the list above. Could it be this (which should be allowed, is mentioned in "writing R extensions") or is it something else, or a bug?
Such issues are probably best for R-devel.
There is nothing to reproduce here, which could well be considered a bug
in your posting.
It seems likely that your package's documentation has an alias for
'vowel.test' in a man page marked as \docType{data}, yet
data('vowel.test') does not work. That seems like a bug in your package.
Using LazyData makes such things much more consistent.
