R help - Oct 2017 - Issue calling MICE package

I want to call the mice function from the MICE package from my own package.
However I run into this issue, which can be reproduced on the command line:

mice::mice(airquality)#> Error in check.method(setup, data): The
following functions were not found: mice.impute.pmm, mice.impute.pmm

I have no problems when doing

library(mice)
mice(airquality)

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Ole H?st

Dear Ole

One of the experts may be able to diagnose this without extra 
information but I suspect you have not got the right magic in your 
NAMESPACE file in your package. You may need to re-read section 1.5.1 of 
the Writing R extensions manual.

IIUC, this would be an isssue with MICE (or rather "mice"), which
isn't Ole's. It could be a namespace issue, but it could also be that
some start-up code is not executed if library() is bypasses (see .onAttach et
al.).
