------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Mar 31 08:17:11 +0000 2008 ------- I use the RPM installation files provided by OOo to install and upgrade my Red Hat system. The upgrade from 2.3.1 to 2.4.0 proceeds smoothly with no errors, but I have noted a problem with the package openoffice.org-freedesktop-menus-2.4-9268 after the upgrade. This package does not work correctly when run as an upgrade rather than a fresh install. That is, when run with "rpm -Uvh" the installation has problems, when run with "rpm -ivh" it does not. I presume this must be a result of one of the pre or post RPM scriptlets. The problem is that after an upgrade the /etc/openoffice.org2.4/ directory is missing. This causes various problems from minor (no menu icons appear in the menu system) to major problems (links to start openoffice are no in place so it can be difficult to start OOo). When I remove the freedesktop package (rpm -e), then re-install that one package from scratch (rpm -i), the /etc/openoffice.org2.4/ is in place and the menus and software appear and function as expected. I am running Redhat Enterprise Linux Workstation version 5.1, which is based from Fedora Core 6. Kernel version 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5. I currently have the following OpenOffice RPMS installed: $ rpm -qa | grep openoffice | sort openoffice.org-base-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-calc-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-core01-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-core02-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-core03-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-core03u-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-core04-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-core04u-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-core05-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-core05u-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-core06-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-core07-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-core08-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-core09-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-core10-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-draw-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-emailmerge-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-freedesktop-menus-2.4-9268 openoffice.org-gnome-integration-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-graphicfilter-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-headless-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-impress-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-javafilter-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-kde-integration-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-math-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-onlineupdate-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-pyuno-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-testtool-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-writer-2.4.0-9286 openoffice.org-xsltfilter-2.4.0-9286 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
