Dear Yung-jin,

regarding the Imports: field in the description file I think you err. AFAIK this has the purpose to tell R while installing your package to also install all packages listed under this field. See genius Hadley.

Thus the keypoint seems not to use imports() and importsFrom() in the NAMESPACE. Either or! Best practice is always only importsFrom(). See https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html, Chapter 1.5.1 "Specifying imports and exports".

If you need really hard stuff :-D read this.

But I think this thread goes too technically. Beside us only very few people will have interest.
Thus let's end here. Congratulation that the issue for bear is resolved. Why ever :cool:.
