There is an app available called "Pyblink" that makes it possible to use 
pybliographic with OpenOffice.  It is a bit of a hack but if you use 
references in your writing, it is possible to get past the loser reference 
manager in OO/SO and use pybliographic instead.  Pybliographic is intended to 
work with Lyx.

Anyway, unfortunately, it is not an easy thing to simply install and run 
Pyblink (http://www.sonnet.dk/pyblink/).  It requires:  Python2, pygtk2, and 
pypygtk2-libglade.  I have each except pygtk2-libglade installed.  I did 
"urpmi pygtk2-libglade" and get this:

The following packages have to be removed for others to be upgraded:
dia-0.90-5mdk (due to missing pygtk)
draksync-9.0-2mdk (due to missing pygtk)
pybliographer-1.0.11-7mdk (due to unsatisfied pygnome >= 1.4.0)
pygnome-1.4.4-1mdk (due to unsatisfied pygtk == 0.6.9)
pygnome-capplet-1.4.4-1mdk (due to unsatisfied pygnome == 1.4.4)
pygtk-0.6.9-6mdk (due to conflicts with pygtk[< 0.6.11])
do you agree ? (Y/n)

Absolutely NOT!  There will be no removals here, just UPGRADES.  I don't get 
it.  For one thing, pybliographer works perfectly yet urpmi wants to remove 
it simply because I want to install pygtk2-libglade?!  NO!  Pybliographer is 
one of the most important apps on the system.  In any case, why does urpmi 
give a damn about the others (which don't have any problems with 
pygtk2-libglade, per se, but with other files which are installed.  For 
instance:

pybliographer-1.0.11-7mdk (due to unsatisfied pygnome >= 1.4.0)
pygnome-1.4.4-1mdk (due to unsatisfied pygtk == 0.6.9)
pygnome-capplet-1.4.4-1mdk (due to unsatisfied pygnome == 1.4.4)

See what this is saying?  pygnome-1.4.4 IS installed but urpmi wants to remove 
pybliographer because its pygnome-1.4.4 dependency isn't met?  Same for the 
rest in that list.

Is this indicating that urpmi is broken and that I will be forced to use rpm 
to force pygtk2-libglade onto my system that way?  At least rpm wont 
idiotically remove (rather than upgrade) other apps to do it.

Anyone have words of wisdom to impart before I proceed?
