MethodError: no method matching mul! with lsqr on julia 1.1

[davidhien]

After updating to Julia 1.1.0 i get the following error when calling lsqr:

ERROR: MethodError: no method matching mul!(::SparseVector{Float64,Int64}, ::LinearAlgebra.Adjoint{Float64,SparseMatrixCSC{Float64,Int64}}, ::SparseMatrixCSC{Float64,Int64})

This was the output from running

using IterativeSolvers

A = sprand(100, 20, 0.2)
b = sprand(100,1,0.2)

lsqr(A,b)

To me it seems that Julia 1.1.0 does not allow SparseVector to be the type of the first argument in mul!(a,b,c). Any fix or hint on how to fix this would be appreciated.

It seems to work if you make b dense.

Works for me, thanks.
