Please note, this repository and issue tracker is for the R.utils package (https://cran.r-project.org/package=R.utils), which is not the same as the utils package that comes built-in with your R installation. If you don't use:

library(R.utils)

in your code, you most likely are not using the R.utils package. If you're uncertain, try to load this package and then look at the help of the R.utils package (e.g. via help.start()) to see if the function you're reporting on is listed under this package.
