Installing R on CentOS 8
FYI: I used wget to download the newer version of openblas and openblas-threads. I was then able to install them and then install R. Not sure why the repo wasn't giving me the latest version, but I am good now.

I am trying to install R on my CentOS 8 server at work and getting an error message about openblas. It seems I need openblas-0.3.3-5.el.x86_64. I have openblas-0.3.3-2.el8.x86_64. I have added the EPEL repo and enabled PowerTools. I would like to upgrade my openblas from 0..3.3-2 to 0.3.3-5, but I don't know how. Or I could install a lower version of R that works with 0.3.3-2, but I don't know Could someone please help me get past this error? Thanks in advance, Roger.

I tried --skip-broken and --nobest. It just skips the packages, so I still don't get R installed, so skipping is not an option.
