Openoffice - how to omit Serbo-Croat ?

[Timothy Murphy]

When I run "yum update" I occasionally get 20 or more
large openoffice rpms to install,
covering virtually every language I have heard of.

Is there any way to restrict the download
to languages I might conceivably understand?

Just remove the packages you don't need.

e.g.
# rpm -e openoffice.org-langpack-zh_TW openoffice.org-langpack-zh_CN
etc.

OK, thanks.

I sort of assumed that I was being told,
"You want openoffice - you'll get openoffice".

If you installed all the languages it is just trying to follow your
choice of install.  I only installed english and so I only get one to
update.

Try rpm -qa openoffice* and see how many packages you have installed.
Then remove the packages that you do not want.

This is my list

[jeff@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa openoffice*
openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.3-11.5.0.fc3
openoffice.org-1.1.3-11.5.0.fc3
openoffice.org-libs-1.1.3-11.5.0.fc3
