[R-sig-Fedora] Installing R on CentOS 8

[Roger Bos]

All,

If I remove openblas and openblas-threads and then try to install it,
dnf wants to install version 0.3.3-2.el8, but for R I need version
0.3.3-5.el8.  I don't know how to force it to install the newer version.
Can anyone help on this front?

Thanks,

Roger
