Please IGNORE the warning

Warning: found methods to import for function "as.list" but not the
generic itself

(possibly with a different method listed).

There are many false positives, and there is a fix (now in R-patched, 
but not in the R used by the build systems or in use by most users).

Diego you are right that the error should be corrected, not the symptom, 
so you do NOT want to comment out the importFrom or change the Depends: 
versus Imports: tag in the DESCRIPTION file.
