Description Joe Smith 2007-11-02 15:27:54 UTC
Description of problem:
I have installed openoffice.org rpms from both Fedora and OpenOffice.org
(OO.org). I need both for testing and other user-support tasks.

The rpms from the two sources install to completely different locations (OO.org
rpms under /opt) and there are no conflicts.

When updated Fedora openoffice.org packages are available, and I run 'yum
update', the update process removes both the old Fedora openoffice.org rpms, and
also some of the OO.org openoffice.org rpms. This breaks the OO.org installation
and I have to re-install.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Most recent where problem occurred: openoffice.org-*-1:2.3.0-6.4.fc7
Same problem has affected every F7 ooo update.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install openoffice.org rpms for F7
2. Install openoffice.org rpms downloaded from OO.org
3. Wait for updates ...
4. Run yum update
  
Actual results:
OO.org install is broken (rpms removed)

Expected results:
Installation has no conflicts--update should be clean also

Additional info:
This morning when the ooo 2.3 update was available, I tried running yum with
full debugging output, but the output does not document what files or packages
are removed. I'm not sure if this is a problem with rpm, or yum, or the packages
themselves.

The OO.org packages that are removed are the ones that match the Fedora package
names:
openoffice.org-base
openoffice.org-calc
openoffice.org-draw
openoffice.org-emailmerge
openoffice.org-graphicfilter
openoffice.org-headless
openoffice.org-impress
openoffice.org-javafilter
openoffice.org-math
openoffice.org-pyuno
openoffice.org-writer
openoffice.org-xsltfilter

The OO.org packages that have names that don't have a corresponding Fedora
package are left untouched:
openoffice.org-core01
openoffice.org-core02
openoffice.org-core03
openoffice.org-core03u
openoffice.org-core04
openoffice.org-core04u
openoffice.org-core05
openoffice.org-core05u
openoffice.org-core06
openoffice.org-core07
openoffice.org-core08
openoffice.org-core09
openoffice.org-core10
openoffice.org-gnome-integration
openoffice.org-kde-integration
openoffice.org-onlineupdate
openoffice.org-testtool

It does not seem correct for an update process to remove packages that were not
updated.

If there is something I can do to collect more information, please let me know.

Well I was hoping for at least a hint of how this could be addressed. Surely
something could be done to fix this.
