This is not an error but only a warning, it means that base and Rcmdr packages contain functions with the same names

Yes, it means that if you want to use that function coming from the Rcmdr package then you should do it explicitely, like Rcmdr::errorCondition(). For that function it is probably irrelevant but functions like select() are often masked by several packages.

For example, the tidyverse has dplyr::select() which is often masked by the AnnotationDbi packages, so I always do dplyr::select() to avoid any conflicts. Same with functions such as cpm() which are used by packages in the single-cell world and something like edgeR.
