well, probably the others where CRAN or bioconductor packages ?

You know, there *is* a reason why we (actually, the repository
maintainers) require that a package runs  "R CMD check" without
a warning.  
If package authors are not willing to clean up and document
their code well enough to be accepted by CRAN,  you have to
expect hardship when trying to install / use the package....
