[R-sig-Fedora] Cannot install broom package

[xbr17 at posteo.de]

Hello,

I've problems installing several packages in my R on Fedora 27 64 bit. I 
found out that it has to do something with a missing  compiler 
(libgfortran.so.3, see below).
It works if I downgrade the current version of libgfortran to the 
specified version by downloading libgfortran-6.2.1-2.fc25.x86_64.rpm and 
manually installing it.
However, I don't want to mess up my system, because the current version 
of libgfortran is replaced by it.

Is there any other solution to my problem? Can I use e.g. "broom" (see 
below) without having to downgrade libgfortran?

Thanks! Cheers
Hans
