Description of problem: Using "Add/remove software", so pirut, openoffice.org-base-2.3.0-6.6.fc8 fails to install on message Missing Dependency: openoffice.org-core = 1:2.3.0-6.6.fc8 is needed by package openoffice.org-base but openoffice.org-core = 1:2.3.0-6.7.fc8 is installed and this looks like a higher version. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): See above How reproducible: Is reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just try to install openoffice.org-base-2.3.0-6.6.fc8 2. 3. Actual results: See above Expected results: Well I was hoping it might install but maybe I just don't understand Additional info: openoffice.org-base-2.3.0-6.6.fc8 is supposed to be the database front end for openoffice.org
Hmm, 2.3.0-6.7.fc8 was the last OOo update which was on the 5th December, if something is trying to install 2.3.0-6.6.fc8 when you ask to install base I suspect that you may have inadvertently been directed to an old mirror that has not updated to 2.3.0-6.7.fc8. So assuming that you didn't manually point to an old repository you may find that it will "just work" if you try again later and will then probably get a different more up-to-date repository, e.g. the repository from which the already-installed 2.3.0-6.7.fc8 updates got downloaded from. e.g. http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/i386/ has all the updated 2.3.0-6.7.fc8 versions.
6.6 on install media, but network yum upgraded 6.7. Poor UI in pirut I guess is the real problem.
