There are / were are few issues intertwined in my case, and yours may differ:

 - are the messages from your code / packages and you startup messages ?

 - are they from imported packages ?

 - are they from R (reported 'foo being shadowed' or 'generic bar defined')

In my case a combination of using .onAttach and .onLoad (instead of just
.onLoad) together with import directives in a NAMESPACE file solved the
issue, as had been suggested on this list.
