| Yum doesn't hate you. It thinks you're the kindest, loveliest being this

|
| yum -y --exclude=gcc* --exclude=libstdc++* --exclude=libjawt*
| --exclude=cpp update

Or you can just do:

# yum update openoffice.org-core

Which will pull in all of the openoffice sub-packages as well.

The problem is that libjawt is being updated by libgcj, not that it
isn't found.  The most-recent openoffice.org packages require an older
libjawt and the update wants to update both of them, but can't.
