How to shed those annoying "language packs" in OO

[J.Moore]

Once upon a time, I did something (don't remember what now) to delete
all of the language packs for Open Office. Some time later (perhaps
during an upgrade), they came back  :(

The annoying thing about them is that they gobble up hundreds of
megabytes of space on my HD and bandwidth during 'yum update's.

How do I get rid of these language packs?

Thanks,
Jay

yum list available | grep langpack

yum erase <list you choose from above>

Thanks, but that doesn't seem to work... For example, in the listing of
updates (following 'yum update'), I see entries like:

openoffice.org-langpack-pt_PT.i386

But, this is not listed in the output of: 
    'yum list available | grep langpack'

the output I get looks like:
...
koffice-langpack-pt.noarch               1.6.2-1                extras
koffice-langpack-pt_BR.noarch            1.6.2-1                extras
...
The only open office lang packs listed are:
openoffice.org-langpack-bn_IN.i386       1:2.0.2-5.21.2         updates
openoffice.org-langpack-ga_IE.i386       1:2.0.2-5.21.2         updates
openoffice.org-langpack-sr_CS.i386       1:2.0.2-5.21.2         updates

WTF,O?

Thanks,
Jay

Jay,

What does

rpm -qa | grep langpack

produce?  I get nothing here.  You could also do a yum remove 
*org-langpack*.

try

yum list installed | grep langpack

and then see whether you have langpacks installed that you do not want.

HTH!
