I had openoffice 1.0.2 installed. I upgraded to 1.1.0-2 and tried to run ooffice. It put up a dialog about how the language in the 1.0.2 dir couldn't be upgraded and prompted me for new installation information for 1.1.0. I specified all the information and then ran ooffice again, and it did the same thing again. The only way I was able to make it stop doing that was to remove my .sversionrc file.
