Dear list, I'm maintainer of the fpc package and got an email that I need to replace a warning that has come up. The warning is:
"Warning: replacing previous import ‘mclust::dmvnorm’ by ‘mvtnorm::dmvnorm’ when loading ‘fpc’" Back story: A few month ago I was contacted by the maintainer of mclust that they now incorporate their own dmvnorm function. As dmvnorm is used in my package, he suggested to replace all dmvnorm by mvtnorm::dmvnorm, which I did. Initially this was accepted without warning by CRAN. I don't really understand what I should do about the warning. Isn't mvtnorm::dmvnorm the way to do this, if I want to go on using mvtnorm's dmvnorm function? All "dmvnorm" occurrences in my package are now mvtnorm::dmvnorm as intended and requested. Both mclust and mvtnorm are imported. The only (probably somewhat stupid) idea I have is to list the import of mvtnorm before mclust in NAMESPACE (currently mclust is imported forst), but this seems silly to me - what if I wanted to use both mvtnorm::dmvnorm and mclust::dmvnorm? Any hint?
