Both are contributed packages. The R-bugs repository is for bugs in R, not
for contributed packages, as clearly stated in the R FAQ.
Finally, check carefully whether the bug is with R, or a contributed
package. Bug reports on contributed packages should be sent first to
the package maintainer, and only submitted to the R-bugs repository by
package maintainers, mentioning the package in the subject line.
Please contact the maintainers. (It looks to me as if the problem is in
SparseM, so you could try loading it first.)
