Comment:
I just installed an optional package earlier today in front of a very
heavy R user, and it worked. The package Matrix is now actually built in
Sage's R, as a 'recommended' package, in fact, so the specific example
above clearly is not correct any more. Here are some examples.

Without more details, and given the age of the ticket, I believe this
ticket should be closed. I claim no credit for it, other than observing
it works - probably fixed someplace along the line and no one noticed this
ticket.
Changing component, since the optional package is for R; R itself is a
standard Sage package.
To release manager: please close this ticket.
