Hi all,
I read this mail and I searched on Openoffice QA to understand what is
appening.

The situation on my fedora 10 installation is that I use Openoffice 3.1
official packages, and yum says that i have to upgrade only the ure
package:

Installed Packages
openoffice.org-ure.i586	1.5.0-9399		installed
Available Packages
openoffice.org-ure.i386	1:3.0.1-15.6.fc10	updates


In the issue, the development team says that they wan't fix the problem.
The problem is in the naming that Fedora team assign to packages.

What is the reason for Fedora to change names only for this package? I
can't understand also why Openoffice devel chose version number
different from the normal 3.1.xxxx 

I know that an exclude option in the yum.conf is a solution, but better
was if Fedora and Openoffice team found a common solution.

Bye
 Ambrogio
