Message-ID: <2F19E8EF-FB85-40F9-A4B8-8B381FEF3E41@johnabbott.qc.ca> Hi, came across the following trying to dnf update on Rocky Linux 9. Seems R-Formula-1.2.3-3.el9.lc.noarch and R-FactoMineR-1.42-2.el9.lc.noarch are causing problems with updates of other R packages on Rocky Linux 9 (presumably RHEL 9 too, I suppose).

Error: Problem 1: cannot install both R-core-4.6.0-1.el9.x86_64 from epel and R-core-4.5.3-1.el9.x86_64 from @System - package R-FactoMineR-1.42-2.el9.lc.noarch from @System requires R(ABI) = 4.5, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best update candidate for package R-core-4.5.3-1.el9.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package R-FactoMineR-1.42-2.el9.lc.noarch Problem 2: package R-core-4.5.3-1.el9.x86_64 from @System requires libRmath(x86-64) = 4.5.3-1.el9, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both libRmath-4.6.0-1.el9.x86_64 from epel and libRmath-4.5.3-1.el9.x86_64 from @System - package R-Formula-1.2.3-3.el9.lc.noarch from @System requires R(ABI) = 4.5, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best update candidate for package libRmath-4.5.3-1.el9.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package R-Formula-1.2.3-3.el9.lc.noarch (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) For now, I?m just using the --skip-broken and --nobest options when updating but wanted to flag this for a future update.

I expect to update the LON-CAPA repos for RHEL, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux and CentosStream 9 with the new versions later today.
