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:

Did you not see this on CentOS4 Ralph? Removing openoffice.org-pyuno fixes the problem,
but it means you lose mail merge support too.
Cheers,
