Ok, my fault sorry:

This is the original message for current submission from prof. Ligges  

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear maintainer,
 
package mdsOpt_0.3-1.tar.gz does not pass the incoming checks automatically, please see the pre-test at:
<https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/mdsOpt_0.3-1_20180404_090906/Windows/00check.log>
Status: 1 NOTE
 
Current CRAN status: ERROR: 1, OK: 11
See: <https://CRAN.R-project.org/web/checks/check_results_mdsOpt.html>
 
Please fix all problems and resubmit a fixed version via the webform.
If you are not sure how to fix the problems shown, please ask for help on the R-package-devel mailing list:
<https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel>
If you are fairly certain the rejection is a false positive, please reply-all to this message and explain.
 
More details are given in the directory:
<https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/mdsOpt_0.3-1_20180404_090906/>
The files will be removed after roughly 7 days.
 
 
Best regards,
CRAN teams' auto-check service

Status: 1 NOTE


So I assume the rejection is due to misspelling note (or maybe I cannot read this message properly :-))

Still appreciate any help
