Hi,
The official Fedora 36 repository still offers R 4.1.3. Since "rolog"
requires at least R (? 4.2), this package cannot be installed yet.
I have no experience with removing the 'default' version and then
manually replacing it with R version 4.2. For now I'm waiting for R 4.2
to be released in Fedora 36 ;-(
Ben
P.S. I already send an update request to the Fedora team
