OOo on x86_64

[Erwin Rol]

OOo still pulls in mozilla.i386 and libgjc.i386 and those two packages
cause problems for me, when I try to install them they seem to collide
with the x86_64 versions.

Transaction Check Error:   file /usr/share/java/libgcj-4.1.0.jar from
install of libgcj-4.1.0-0.8 conflicts with file from package
libgcj-4.1.0-0.8

Transaction Check Error:   file /usr/bin/mozilla from install of
mozilla-1.7.12-3 conflicts with file from package mozilla-1.7.12-3
  file /usr/share/man/man1/mozilla.1.gz from install of mozilla-1.7.12-3
conflicts with file from package mozilla-1.7.12-3

Thanks for the update.  Caolon is working on the fix.

OOo still needs mozilla i386 on x86_64 and mozilla i386 still collides
with the x86_64 version. 

Transaction Check Error:   file /usr/bin/mozilla from install of
mozilla-1.7.12-3 conflicts with file from package mozilla-1.7.12-3
  file /usr/share/man/man1/mozilla.1.gz from install of mozilla-1.7.12-3
conflicts with file from package mozilla-1.7.12-3

Am I the only one with this problem ?

BTW that yum error message is not very useful "package A conflicts with
package A", better would be "package A.i386 conflicts with package
A.x86_64"

No, I think we're all seeing it.

Basically there are just two files that conflict:  the script 
/usr/bin/mozilla
and the man page.   If you want a workaround you can try this.  It works
for me, but use at your own risk.

    rpm -Uvh --force --relacepkgs mozilla-1.7.12-3.i386.rpm
    rpm -Uvh --force --relacepkgs mozilla-1.7.12-3.x86_64.rpm

That leaves the x86_64 version of  mozilla in /usr/bin/mozilla
and provides an i386 version of /usr/lib/mozilla/libxpcom.so
that can be used by openoffice.org.

can we split mozilla into mozilla-browser and mozilla-libs to avoid 
that? (at least until it is possible to have a x86_64 OO build)
