By policy, the Rstudio update and updates for all those packages should have been included with the update to R itself: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Updating_inter-dependent_packages "When one updated package requires another (or more than one other), the packages should be submitted together as a single update. For instance, if package A depends on packages B and C, and you want to update to a new version of package A which requires new versions of B and C, you must submit a single update containing the updated versions of all three packages. It is a bad idea to submit three separate updates, because if the update for package A is pushed stable before the updates for packages B and C, it will cause dependency problems." Also, it may be worth considering whether updating R to 3.4 is in line with these parts of the policy: "Releases of the Fedora distribution are like releases of the individual packages that compose it. A major version number reflects a more-or-less stable set of features and functionality. As a result, we should avoid major updates of packages within a stable release. Updates should aim to fix bugs, and not introduce features, particularly when those features would materially affect the user or developer experience. The update rate for any given release should drop off over time, approaching zero near release end-of-life; since updates are primarily bugfixes, fewer and fewer should be needed over time." "Package maintainers MUST: Avoid Major version updates, ABI breakage or API changes if at all possible. Avoid changing the user experience if at all possible. Avoid updates that are trivial or don't affect any Fedora users." It would be great if the relevant maintainers could take these points into consideration for future updates.
