I'm not sure this is a good idea. I need root privilege, and it may broke other
packages that depend on it (maybe, at least yum?). Actually I tried removing
the package and found it works, but the resolution became too poor.

OK. I simply understand that LO is not supporting SL6 now. I'm quite happy with
the current OS, which will be supported by the vendor to at least 2020. And
even MS is still providing a working Skype for it...

When I really need to use LO Impress (actually Writer does not have this
problem..), I might try converting the figure by hand using the -pta option.
Thank you very much for the helps!
