Errors about missing packages that you see on CRAN are temporary
problems due to an inconsistent state in some builder, not your fault.
I assume you received this in an automated message. Just reply
pointing to the problem and asking for a re-check.

Same issue here. This time, you import plyr, plyr imports Rcpp.
