OOo has always required Mozilla to build at least, and technically requires Mozilla to use the address book integration... This is not the case with FC2 however where this has been stripped out due to other concerns. I suppose the requirement could be removed... Ok, that's good news. So are you going to remove the dependency now and release a new update of OOo, or will I have to wait until the next proper version/bugfix update? openoffice.org-1.1.0-15 in FC1 updates and the later FC2/FC3 openoffice.org-1.1.2-10 no longer have a Requires on mozilla openoffice.org-1.1.0-16 in FC1 updates and the later FC2/FC3 openoffice.org-1.1.2-10 no longer have a Requires on mozilla |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040404 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: This latest update of openoffice requires mozilla. Not all of us use mozilla. I personally use firefox. I removed mozilla from my system, because I didn't want programs randomly starting up mozilla (many programs are configured to simply run "mozilla" when a browser is required). On my system I have a shell script called "mozilla" that starts firefox (optionally opening my page in a tab if firefox is already running). I don't want to install mozilla, and this update of openoffice is forcing me to get it. I could manually download the updates and install using "rpm --nodeps", but I will face this problem the next time I try to update or upgrade. Since firefox is now a part of the fedora distribution, is it not better to have a dependency on mozilla OR firefox, so that people like me are not forced to have a copy of mozilla on our system? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.0-15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to update or install openoffice.org using yum or any other tool 2. 3. Additional info:
