I checked the "Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.16_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_de.tar.gz" I 
downloaded with sudo rpm -K * , which resulted in digests OK on my system. 
According to https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/rpm-gpg-verify-packages it might 
also be possible to do installs using the flag --nogpgcheck when installing 
with rpm, not that that sounds like a great option.

The redhat article makes for an interesting read about rpm and public keys 🙂

This error message means something like "no checksum".
It's the first time I see such a problem with our RPM's...

Please send us the output of the following commands:
$ rpm -K openoffice-ure-4.1.16-9816.x86_64.rpm
$ md5sum openoffice-ure-4.1.16-9816.x86_64.rpm

Best regards,
