This means that 'another package' is on the search() path. It only gets 
there if your package attaches it, directly or indirectly. Maybe another 
package that you attach previously import'ed it, but now depends on it? 
To narrow this down, step through your vignette code until you see the 
offending package on the search() path.

Maybe you can avoid attaching the intermediate package, or put your 
package in front of the others on the search path by loading your 
package last in the vignette.

If you're running into these problems, and you're intimately familiar 
with your package, then one can imagine that users will also run into 
this problem and the suggestion to mangle your package function names 
starts to sound appealing.

The next Bioconductor release has not been announced (we try to tie 
these to the R release schedule, and the release of R-3.5 has not yet 
been announced), but will likely be at the end of April.
