nothing provides libgfortran.so.4

[Paul Smith]

Dear All,

When trying to install

R-mvtnorm

I get the following error:

---------------------
# dnf install R-mvtnorm
Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'virtualbox', disabling.
Last metadata expiration check: 0:43:20 ago on Tue 08 May 2018 10:35:07 AM WEST.
Error:
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libgfortran.so.4 needed by R-mvtnorm-1.0.6-3.fc27.i686
  - nothing provides libgfortran.so.4()(64bit) needed by
R-mvtnorm-1.0.6-3.fc27.x86_64
#
---------------------

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Let me add that I am using Fedora 28.

The package has not been rebuilt during the mass rebuild as it should have
been.  You need to ask maintainer to do that.

Thanks, Jakub. I have just filed this bug on Bugzilla:

Looks like that package needs to get rebuilt.  
libgfortran-8.0.1-0.20.fc28.x86_64 provides libgfortran.so.5, so R-mvtnorm  
needs to get rebuilt. Create a bug against R-mvtnorm.
