How should I deal with "'someFunction' is not an exported object from 'namespace:somePackage'" error?

Question

I have this error:

'someFunction' is not an exported object from 'namespace:somePackage'

Does anyone know how to solve it?

Answer 1

Some reasons:

• Function is not part of the package, anymore, try ??someFunction to find out which package it belongs to.
• Package data is not part of the package
• Function is available in newer version of the package, reinstall latest version.
