Agreed. I fixed the roxygen2 and it works fine. But yet, the original
v4.0.1 on CRAN has a namespace file which contains

S3method(bold,huxtable)
export(bold)
export(bold.huxtable)

and

S3method("align<-",huxtable)
export("align<-")
export("align<-.huxtable")

yet still fails on linux-patched and linux-release, with "no applicable
method" errors for align<- and bold. Unfortunately, I don't know how to
reproduce the error on any other platform....

I just got R installed on an Ubuntu VM, and ran "R CMD check
huxtable_4.0.1.tar.gz" both with and without "--as-cran", without seeing
the error you quoted.  (I did see other problems, related to not having
things like pandoc installed; nothing that looked like a problem with
the package rather than a problem with my R installation.)

That looks like a bug, but without having a system that can reproduce
it, it's hard to narrow down where:

   - In R's checks?  Seems unlikely, given it is so system specific.
   - In CRAN's scripts?  Really unlikely, since all the tests are in R.
   - In huxtable or some package used by huxtable?  Seems possible:
maybe memory got corrupted.  Perhaps running under some memory checker
would be more informative.

I just tried valgrind on Ubuntu and it didn't see anything.

Perhaps the CRAN team could be helpful here.


Anyway, meanwhile, my problem is fixed and I have learned something
about function environments.

Given that the error is unrelated to the solution, it really looks like
memory corruption somewhere or other.
