This concerns CRAN packages which call .find.package and/or .path.package: these have never been public functions.  Way back in R 2.13.0 public functions find.package and path.package were added, so please update your package to use them and check (and update if necessary) the R version requirement in the DESCRIPTION file.

The dot versions are deprecated and will be removed shortly (but not for 3.0.0 on April 3).

Please submit a corrected update to CRAN following the CRAN policies at http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html by April 11 at the latest.

There may be other issues that need fixing: see the CRAN check logs at
http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_NAME.html,
replacing NAME by the name of your package.
