this is actually generated by the seqLogo package (it had imports(stats4); 
importFrom(graphics, "plot") in the NAMESPACE file, but stats4 has exported and 
hence seqLogo was importing an (S4) plot generic already). I have updated 
seqLogo to address this and other minor changes; I guess this will be reflected 
in a subsequent build of your package (but maybe not until the seqLogo changes 
propagate some time tomorrow; I'm not 100% sure of how the single package 
builder satisfies its dependencies.) Whatever the case, this was 'not your problem'.

Thanks for being a conscientious developer!
