Hello,

I am using the latest AlmaLinux release 8.5 (Arctic Sphynx).  I could not install "R" (a static package) and I have epel installed.

[[root@pow ~]# dnf install epel-release

Package epel-release-8-15.el8.noarch is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

[root@pow ~]# dnf install R-4.1.3

I did not have any problems installing in any CentOS or Rocky.

Thank you in advance.
