[R] what constitutes a 'complete sentence'?

[Federico Calboli]

Hi All,

I am upgrading a package for CRAN, and I get this note:

checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... NOTE
Malformed Description field: should contain one or more complete sentences.

This is puzzling because:

cat DESCRIPTION

...
Description: Functions designed to test for single gene/phenotype association and for pleiotropy on genetic and genomic data.
...

In my understanding "Functions designed to test for single gene/phenotype association and for pleiotropy on genetic and genomic data.” *is* a complete sentence.  So, what is complete sentence in the opinion of whomever coded that check?

Best
