[R] Interpreting messages when building packages

[Johannes Huesing]

Dear expRts,
when I try to build a package by myself, the process fails writing the
following messages to 00install.out:

* Installing *source* package 'dynalc' ...

** building package indices ...

** Removing '/home/hannes/texte/forschung/clot/programme/dynalc.Rcheck/dynalc'

Grepping the directory for "switch" or "scan" does not show anything. 
Removing the data set from the "data" directory does not change the error
message.
What else can I do to narrow the range of possible targets when looking
for the error?

Best wishes
