Dear Justin,
I also had similar problems recently... In fact, I have just created a
"package" using package.skeleton and if I try to build it without
editing the DESCRIPTION file (you did not mention you did, right?) R
complains. In fact, it appears to be malformed (I am running version
2.1.0 of R on a Debian (testing) Linux box); it is [sic]:
Package: fooType: Package
Title: What the package does (short line)
Version: 1.0
Date: 2005-08-23
Author: Who wrote it
Maintainer: Who to complain to <yourfault at somewhere.net>
Description: More about what it does (maybe more than one line)
License: What license is it under?
As you can see, the two first lines are pasted together. Can this
perhaps be the problem?
Sincerely,
Carlos J. Gil Bellosta
