Open Office 3.2 Issues in Fedora 12

[Alexis Pardo]

thanks, Ariel.

Both procedures don't work :(

After running yum update command (after a, b and c), there's no update to
some OOo package

thanks

well, now may be your problem is that you have installed both OOo downloaded
from OOo site (it installs in /opt) and OOo from Fedora repos.

You may try the following:

a) remove* both* OOo version *completely*
b) install OOo 3.2 downloaded from OOo site
c) edit /etc/yum.conf and add a line to exclude updating OOo

exclude=openoffice.org*


The problem is an issue in the URE package versioning, that will remove OOo-
Sun/Oracle URE and replace it with OOo RedHat/Fedora:

For example I have installed OOo-Sun/Oracle 3.2

Installed Packages
Name       : openoffice.org-ure

Available Packages

Summary    : UNO Runtime Environment
URL        : http://www.openoffice.org/

running yum update will try to update Sun/Oracle's URE with Fedora's

-> Running transaction check
---> Package openoffice.org-ure.x86_64 1:3.1.1-19.28.fc12 set to be updated
--> Finished Dependency Resolution

If you try this, please report back.
Luck.
