I've had a request to downgrade R on one server, to match three others (someone who's just left had important scripts, and I assume they break going a full subrelease...). The server they want downgraded is running 4.1.0-5; the others are running 3.0.1-1. ALL are CentOS 6.5, yet yum downgrade tells me "only upgrade available", and yum list R-core-3.0.2* gives me "no matching packages".
Anyone know what's wrong here?

stock 6.5 system with no R, and just EPEL (and PostgreSQL) repository added... this shows R-core as 3.1.0 in EPEL only, no R in the base distribution. so.... what repositories are /you/ using ?

The latest version of R is 3.1.1: http://www.r-project.org/
Do you mean 3.1.0-5?

Sorry, typo. I've been a tad busy today... any busier, and I'd feel like a one-armed paperhanger....

so the question is, where did the older 3.0.x version you want get installed from?
`rpm -qi R-core` should provide the repo info on the systems with the earlier version, similar to...
# yum info R-core ... Name : R-core Arch : x86_64 Version : 3.1.0 Release : 5.el6 Size : 48 M Repo : epel Summary : The minimal R components necessary for a functional runtime URL : http://www.r-project.org License : GPLv2+ Description : A language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. : R is similar to the award-winning S system, which was developed at : Bell Laboratories by John Chambers et al. It provides a wide : variety of statistical and graphical techniques (linear and : nonlinear modelling, statistical tests, time series analysis, : classification, clustering, ...). : : R is designed as a true computer language with control-flow : constructions for iteration and alternation, and it allows users to : add additional functionality by defining new functions. For : computationally intensive tasks, C, C++ and Fortran code can be linked : and called at run time.

The English translation = "overloaded" :-)

Yup. Easier today. And the real problem is that a now-departed (partly) user had written R scripts that somehow were dependent upon about four dependencies for *that* version; when one of my people tries to run on it, it fails. I'm trying to get them to debug, so we can upgrade properly....
