I had a corrupted installation of OpenOffice.org 3.1.

When I used "yum remove openoffice.org-core" the response was "package
openoffice.org-core available but not installed", but then, when I
used "yum install openoffice.org-core there was a long list of
Transaction Check Errors. I then removed
openoffice.org3.1-redhat-menus-noarch which was in the errors.

Here's the first of those errors:
Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/bin/soffice from install of
openoffice.org-core-3.1.1-19.5.el5_5.1.i386 conflicts with file from
package openoffice.org3.1-redhat-menus-3.1-9393.noarch

The transaction completed OK, after I removed
openoffice.org3.1-redhat-menus-noarch, but now, there is nothing in
Applications/Office menu for OpenOffice.org   :-)


Question: How do I get the different entries for OpenOffice.org to
appear in that menu again so I can launch the application?
(If I need to install the latest version of
openoffice.org3.1-redhat-menus-noarch what command do I use to get the
correct version?)
