Try using
install.packages("Matrix")
install.packages("lme4")
in R instead. I have not created and uploaded new Debian packages of
the lme4 and Matrix R packages for several weeks. The versions on
CRAN are more recent than the versions on the Debian archives.

Try not to have the nlme and the lme4 packages loaded simultaneously.
It appears that you may have had Rcmdr loaded causing many of the
other packages to be loaded. It would be better to use --vanilla in
the call to R and keep the number of loaded packages to a minimum
until you can work out the problem of where lmer can be found.
It is a bit confusing. The lmer function was in the lme4 package but
now is in the Matrix package.> > (fm1 <- lmer(decrease ~ treatment + (1|rowpos) + (1|colpos),
