Hi Christian, in your NAMESPACE you import both mvtnorm and mclust completely. The warning should go away if you change this to importFrom(...) with only the methods you actually need, in particular dmvnorm either from mvtnorm or from mclust. Alternatively, you could leave out the imports and always use the fully qualified names. This makes it easy to use both mvtnorm::dmvnorm and mclust::dmvnorm in the same package.
