Description of problem: open office writer wasn't launching for me. After some help I found out that openoffice.org-core wasn't installed at all! Installing the package fixed the problem. The error was mentioned in install.log. The error lines in install.log Installing openoffice.org-core - 1:2.2.0-14.6.x86_64 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib64/openoffice.org/program/ libsvt680lx.so;46390571: cpio: read This is on a centrino core duo, which I think is sometimes reported as ia32e, but I use the x86_64 installer...
rpm --erasing OOo on my x86_64 and yum -y install openoffice.org-writer.x86_64 pulls down the 1:2.2.0-14.6.x86_64 writer and core rpms and installs them without problem. I can only assume that there was some corruption of the rpms installed in #1 or a temporary lack of space during install :-(
Fair enough, I guess it could be some corruption but I'm certain it wasn't a space issue.
