Hi! I recently removed (rpm -e) all the openoffice packages (2.0.4) from Centos and replaced them with Sun's packages for openoffice 2.4. Works fine. however, now whenever I run yum update I get this: ============================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================Updating: openoffice.org-base i386 1:2.0.4-5.4.25 updates 868 k openoffice.org-calc i386 1:2.0.4-5.4.25 updates 7.7 M openoffice.org-draw i386 1:2.0.4-5.4.25 updates 1.1 M openoffice.org-emailmerge i386 1:2.0.4-5.4.25 updates 63 k openoffice.org-graphicfilter i386 1:2.0.4-5.4.25 updates 205 k openoffice.org-impress i386 1:2.0.4-5.4.25 updates 1.6 M openoffice.org-javafilter i386 1:2.0.4-5.4.25 updates 148 k openoffice.org-math i386 1:2.0.4-5.4.25 updates 1.3 M openoffice.org-pyuno i386 1:2.0.4-5.4.25 updates 184 k openoffice.org-writer i386 1:2.0.4-5.4.25 updates 3.0 M openoffice.org-xsltfilter i386 1:2.0.4-5.4.25 updates 97 k Installing for dependencies: openoffice.org-core i386 1:2.0.4-5.4.25 updates 88 M Transaction Summary ============================================================================Install 1 Package(s) Update 11 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 104 M what I'd like to know is why does it think it needs to update all those openoffice packages?
