OpenOffice updates.

[billd]

I installed the OpenOffice 3.3 RPM from OpenOffice.org on CentOS 6 64-bit.

pup wants to update "UNO Runtime Environment" with the 3.2.1 version. If I let it, it breaks OpenOffice entirely and the only way I've found to fix it is to uninstall OpenOffice entirely and reinstall it.

Is there some way to suppress pup showing me this update? Why is it trying to install an older version?

You have installed the OOo packages from a source outside the distribution. As far as the system is concerned, they are not the same as the OOo packages provided by CentOS. That is, they are not regarded as a newer version of the CentOS-supplied OOo.

You could use the exclude= option in the yum.conf file to prevent the installation of the CentOS-version of OOo. But this can become tricky when other package on the system requires OOo.

If you're installing from outside of the repos then why notl OO and install LibreOffice?

yum erase openoffice.org*



# yum list libreoffice* libobasis*
