I filed a pull request on our web site to fix this issue: https://github.com/apache/openoffice-org/pull/112 > I have little knowledge in the workings of linux, and unsure about > red hat linux or rpm packages and the flags involved.

I understand Wolfgang is using Fedora, and they may have changed something WRT RPM signatures. In such case, we will have to update our build system. Or maybe, the archive he has downloaded may be somewhat faulty. That is why I was asking for the MD5 of one of the files that were failing to install.
