To upgrade Openoffice.org from 1.1.x to 2.x, I removed openoffice.org with
yum remove openofficeand then dowloaded and installed the latest Openoffice.org stuff from the OO site itself. The file you download there is a compressed file of rpms. So once I extracted them in a folder (you'll notice a redhat desktop integration rpm in a subfolder there, which you can copy to the folder where you dumped all the rpms), I just did
rpm -ivh openoffice*.rpmin that folder.
All goes well, except that openoffice.org-pyuno seems to break yum:
aud000:/opt/openoffice.org2.0/program# yum update There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cElementTree.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_DecodeUTF8
Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly.
It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.3.4 (#1, Feb 1 2006, 21:07:49) [GCC 3.4.1]
If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq
Did you not see this on CentOS4 Ralph? Removing openoffice.org-pyuno fixes the problem, but it means you lose mail merge support too.
