Description of problem: With LOffice, some graphics in writer documents don't show up completely (lines are missing, etc.). Never had this problem in <=f14 with OO so removed LO and installed OO from setup installer. This fixed the graphics problem. However, shortly a yum (or apper) update appeared for libreoffice-ure which was no longer installed (now openoffice.org-ure installed). When update applied, errors like this are seen: Error: Package: openoffice.org3-dict-fr-3.3.0-9567.x86_64 (installed) Requires: openoffice.org-ure Removing: openoffice.org-ure-1.7.0-9567.x86_64 (installed) openoffice.org-ure = 1.7.0-9567 Obsoleted By: 1:libreoffice-ure-3.4.4.2-3.fc16.x86_64 (updates) Not found You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest A workaround solution is to be exclude=libreoffice* in yum.conf. This seems to point to a packaging error of some sort. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): f16, LO version=latest for f16, OO version installed from OO site: 3.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Remove LOffice using yum remove libreoffice* 2. Install OO.org setup rpms from their site (used their setup program and installed as root to /opt) 3. Wait a while or immediately do a yum update 4. See a need to update (now non-existent) libreoffice-ure 5. Update fails Actual results: Update fails. Must add exclude=libreoffice* to yum.conf to inhibit this from flagging a need to update which will always fails. Expected results: Should just be able to remove LO and install OO with no linkage or phantom errors. Additional info: The original graphics problem with LOffice is not fedora specific since I saw it with Ubuntu also and installed OO.org as a replacement to fix the problem. There was no problems doing this with Ubuntu.

Unfortunately, one of the OO.o's upstream rpms has the same name (i.e., openoffice.org-ure), which causes the problem. > > A workaround solution is to be exclude=libreoffice* in yum.conf. This seems to > point to a packaging error of some sort. This is not a workaround but the solution. Fedora only ascertains package compatibility and correct upgrade paths inside the distribution. It is just not possible to support random third-party stuff in addition. > > Actual results: > Update fails.

No. When you start mixing distribution and third-party packages, you are on your own. > > Additional info: > The original graphics problem with LOffice is not fedora specific since I saw > it with Ubuntu also and installed OO.org as a replacement to fix the problem. And where is the bug report for it?
(In reply to comment #1) > And where is the bug report for it? This show exactly what I see. When .doc opened in LO that contains graphical elements with lines and text. You see only the text and no lines with LO: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42112 In OO the graphical elements appear correctly. Since I really need to open these documents I replace LO with OO. Hopefully, this will be fixed but I don't see a lot of activity on this bug at LO bugzilla.
