From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: I just installed Fedora Core 2. OpenOffice binaries disappeared from /usr/bin. In fact, the *whole* /usr/lib/openoffice directory vanished. Must reinstall OpenOffice from openoffice.org Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core 2 on Fedora Core 1 2. Try to run openoffice 3. Actual Results: OpenOffice no longer present Expected Results: OpenOffice should not have vanished Additional info:
Found the OpenOffice directory. However, the binaries *did* vanish for /usr/bin
so you have no /usr/bin/oowriter, /usr/bin/ooffice, etc? can you run: rpm -ql openoffice.org | grep ooffice and also: rpm -qv openoffice.org and attach the results here?
Both commands resulted in no output, except that "packet openoffice is not present". My old openoffice had been an install from source (downloaded from www.openoffice.org), which generates binaries called soffice (not ooffice). Anyway, after installing FC2, the "soffice" binaries disappeared. Everything was OK after downloading again the files from www.openoffice.org, compiling and reinstalling.
Flavio, so this has been fixed that, since you do not use the OOo provided by Fedora, but prefer to use it directly from www.openoffice.org ? (I conclude that since you get "package openoffice is not present" from comment 3)
Colin, I didn't quite understand your comment - yes, I had on my computer the Ooffice installed from www.openoffice.org - it was after installing FC2 that I had the problem
Flavio, what I meant is that this isn't a bug with the OOo that comes with Fedora is it? This is a bug with OpenOffice.org itself (i.e. an upstream issue)
seems like an up2date/rpm/yum issue... but since its fixed by manually installing the packages, closing.
