[R-sig-Fedora] Installing R 3.4.0 on Red Hat 6

[Tom Callaway]

Hmmm. When I look at the contents of epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm, I
see:

/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
/etc/rpm/macros.ghc-srpm
/etc/yum.repos.d/epel-testing.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
/usr/share/doc/epel-release-6
/usr/share/doc/epel-release-6/GPL

Do you have those .repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ ?
