openoffice.org broken dependencies on x86_64

[Michal Jaegermann]

Latest rawhide reports do not list anything broken for
openoffice.org but after recent updates I see
"Package openoffice.org-core requires libxpcom.so".  The
later library a part of such packages like mozilla, firefox
or thunderbird but these are 64-bit libraries while openoffice
is a 32-bit application.

There is now mozilla-1.7.12-2.i386.rpm among x86_64 packages, which
would install some 30 Megs of stuff, but it looks like that scripts
/usr/bin/mozilla will conflict between i386 and x86_64 and besides
with an attempt of (local)install, not to update, yum responds:

mozilla-1.7.12-2.i386.rpm: does not update installed package.
Nothing to do

It looks like that if libxpcom.so is really needed than a reasonable
thing to do would be to split it in a separate subpackage similar
to mozilla-nss (which, BTW, supplies for each architecture two
independent copies of libnssckbi.so; a bit much).

Do I miss something?

Yeah, the mozilla "xpcom" dependency snuck in, but shouldn't have. There
will be another spin which will resolve this.
