问题

CentOS8下yum安装R报错：

[root@rstudio ~]# sudo yum install R -y

Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux Modular 8 - x86_64                               59 kB/s |  40 kB     00:00    

Error: 

 Problem: package R-3.6.2-1.el8.x86_64 requires R-devel = 3.6.2-1.el8, but none of the providers can be installed

  - package R-devel-3.6.2-1.el8.x86_64 requires R-core-devel = 3.6.2-1.el8, but none of the providers can be installed

  - conflicting requests

  - nothing provides texinfo-tex needed by R-core-devel-3.6.2-1.el8.x86_64

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

解决方案

发现是缺少了texinfo-tex，而这个包在CentOS8下的powertools repo中，而且并没有被默认开启，因此需要手动开启：

dnf install 'dnf-command(config-manager)' -y

sudo yum config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
