I am building a R package, and I am facing an issue caused (as far as I understand) by the fact that some functions out of my package rely on two fuctions having the same name and coming from 2 different packages:
pROC::roc
spatstat::roc
As I?aki pointed out, the main issue is that you should be using Import rather than Depends. But I didn't see mentioned the fact that the NAMESPACE file can rename a function when you import it, e.g.
importFrom(pROC, pROCroc = roc)
importFrom(spatstat, spatstatroc = roc)
Now in your own functions you can use pROCroc() or spatstatroc() and they won't conflict.
(I was going to point you to the documentation for this, but I am not sure it is properly documented anywhere.)

When checking the package via devtools::check(), I get the following warning:
Warning: replacing previous import ?spatstat::roc? by ?pROC::roc? when loading ?GmAMisc?
Note that both packages are listed among the Imports in my package's DESCRIPTION file, and that (within my functions) I have actually used spatstat::roc and pROC::roc where needed.
I have done some web-search but I could not locate any workaround that actually fixes my issue.
Do you have any suggestion on the matter?
