I got this far: when doing
dnf install R-CRAN-matlib

the command comes back with a boatload of dependencies, including the 
request to install R-CRAN-R6.

R-R6 as an F32 rpm is already installed; there are other instances where 
an RPM-CRAN-* rpm is requested to be installed as a dependency when the 
comprable F32 rpm is already installed.

This doesn't seem to be prudent.
