[R-pkg-devel] Description Meta Information Note

[Cathy Lee Gierke]

I'm getting a Note that I don't understand....and I think it may be the
cause of other errors later....  I have copied all of the output up to the
error for context.  The error line is at the end.  It seems to say that I
have not done a Build before doing the Check, but I did....
