I had a strange update tonight and wanted to pass along my experience.
I noticed that yum reported updates to openoffice.org version
1.1.3.mumble. No worries, said I, yum does the right thing and I ran
the update.
After the update, when I tried to run OpenOffice, the installer
appeared, with a dialog asking me to update my installation of v1.1.2
because the "network" installation had been updated. When I followed
the prompts to update, the update failed, asking me to close OpenOffice
1.0, 1.0.1, 1.1, and 1.1.2.
After this, OO would not run, instead Bug Buddy appears whenever I try
to use an OO application.
My fix was to uninstall (rpm -e) the existing versions of
openoffice.org, openoffice.org-libs, and openoffice.org-i18n. Then a simple
yum install openoffice.org
appears to have recovered my OO installation, kindly leaving the big
i18n package out.
I thought that was really strange. If anyone has seen this situation,
this might help. If you have other information about it, I'd appreciate
a word.
