yum upgrade --exclude=openoffice* --exclude=openssl That would upgrade your system excluding the openssl package and all the openoffice packages. To see what packages that would affect do this: yum list 'openoffice*' which should list all installed an available packages in repos in your repo list. If you plan on consistenly excluding packages, you can put them in your /etc/yum.conf file. man yum.conf for more info on that.
