Therefore they are considered as the "newer" packages. In RPM version comparison, the hidden Epoch value is most-significant. Epoch comparison overrides the result of ordinary version-release comparison. Highest Epoch wins, and any non-zero Epoch wins over a missing Epoch.
Hi Michael,
thanks for the explanation. As workaround, I put a
exclude=openoffice.org*
in /etc/yum.conf. That helped.
