I should add that it is generally possible to use libreoffice from Rawhide on older release, i.e., yum install fedora-release-rawhide yum update --enablerepo=rawhide libreoffice* What typically causes problems is poppler, that has a version bump in every Fedora release. Because ~half of the installed packages depend on it, it makes the update unadvisable :-) But poppler is only required by libreoffice-pdfimport (which is again required by libreoffice-draw), so yum remove libreoffice-draw libreoffice-pdfimport helps there. (Unless you specifically want to test Draw, in which case I suggest to install Rawhide into a virtual machine rather than breaking your system by a half-upgrade.) Then, if you want to go back yum downgrade libreoffice* # and any libs that might have been updated D. _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
