Here are a couple of options: try "rpm -Uvh ..." instead of "rpm ivh .." that tries to upgrade instead of a straight install another option would be trying to uninstall the offending package, with the command "rpm -e ..." To get the right name, use the rpm query commands. Or use a "nuclear" option and commpletely uninstall open-office using your package manager (yast in suse), and then install the new one with rpm commands (including the desktop integration). YMMV, JG --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
