[R] Problem (environment?) with R CMD CHECK

Hi all,

I have a package that contains a function foo that calls a function
.fooInternal via match.fun('.fooInternal'). This step is necessary
because I want to give the user an option to override .fooInternal
with a custom function. The .fooInternal function name is not
exported. The function foo runs perfectly well when used in a normal R
session. However, the function fails  the R CMD CHECK command with the
error

Error in get(as.character(FUN), mode = "function", envir = envir) :
  object '.fooInternal' of mode 'function' was not found

I'm wondering if this is some environment misspecification issue? I
also tried replacing .fooInternal by packageName:::.fooInternal
(replacing packageName with actual package name, of course), to no
avail.

Thanks in advance for all replies.

Peter
