[Rd] possible bug in R CMD Rd2pdf

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

When I include the macros \packageAuthor, \packageDescription,
\packageTitle, \packageMaintainer in a XX-package.Rd file, R CMD Rd2pdf
fails with

$ R CMD Rd2pdf mpra
Hmm ... looks like a package
Converting Rd files to LaTeX Error : mpra/man/mpra-package.Rd:6: file
'./DESCRIPTION' does not exist

This does not happen if I comment out 4 occurrences of these 4 macros in
mpra-package.Rd.

This is with
