If you do a:

# yum remove '*openoffice.org*'

It should get all openoffice packages, works even if it wasn't installed
by yum.

If you where using the centos versions this will happen for you with a 
normal upgrade with no issues.


If you are using the OpenOffice.org versions and if you want to shift 
back to the centos version, then just:


rpm -e openoffice-\*

then

(all one line)

yum install openoffice.org-impress openoffice.org-writer 
openoffice.org-math openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-graphicfilter 
openoffice.org-draw openoffice.org-xsltfilter openoffice.org-base

Thanks Johnny, I'll look into it.  (Trying to remove the CentOS version,
and install the OO.o rpms.)

I'll also try Ross' suggestion.

(the 5.2 upgrade is still happily chugging along with the downloads at
09h50 (-4), at #145 of 222 downloads.)

Re: [CentOS] centos 5.2 for real this time

2008-06-24 Thread Donald Buchan
Just reread your message.

I was still having problems with the 2.0 centos version coming back even
though I'd removed it.

I tried Ross' suggesting, it removed things successfully (for both
2.0.whatever and 2.4.1.)  But the new 2.4.1 won't install because
package jre-1.6.0_04-fcs is already installed.  Grrr.

I'm tempted to keep the 2.3 version that comes with the 5.2 upgrade, I
didn't notice any difference between 2.3 and 2.4, and I won't have to
constantly upgrade every time there's a latest  greatest OO.o ...
(Seems that's why I like CentOS to begin with!)

You can remove jre-1.6 then install OOo, or download OOo that doesn't
include the JRE.

Make sure to uncheck:

Include the Java JRE with this download (This option is not available for Linux 
DEB and Mac OSX)

On the download page.
