Here is another thing that might help work out what is happening. If I
use --no-install, ade4 actually fails as well, in the same way as zipfR.
[Desktop]$ R CMD check --no-install ade4
* checking for working latex ... OK
* using log directory '/home/rak776/Desktop/ade4.Rcheck'
* using Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01)
* checking for file 'ade4/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* this is package 'ade4' version '1.4-1'
* checking if this is a source package ... OK
* checking package directory ... OK
* checking for portable file names ... OK
* checking for sufficient/correct file permissions ... OK
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... ERROR
[Desktop]$ R CMD check --no-install zipfR
* checking for working latex ... OK
* using log directory '/home/rak776/Desktop/zipfR.Rcheck'
* using Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01)
* checking for file 'zipfR/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* checking extension type ... Package
* this is package 'zipfR' version '0.6-0'
* checking if this is a source package ... OK
* checking package directory ... OK
* checking for portable file names ... OK
* checking for sufficient/correct file permissions ... OK
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... ERROR
