Err, what version of Fedora do you have? The package that came with

FC5 but this is an upgrade from RH9
Sounds like it's accumulated some cruft. Did you do a straight upgrade, or
has it been through FC1->FC2->FC3->FC4?
You are right about the cruft, this was a straight upgrade, without
intervening FC1-FC4

No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion
Looks like still have a problem.
And *that's* 'cause it's been split into subpackages --
openoffice.org-writer, openoffice.org-impress, etc.
Try this:
yum list "openoffice.org*"
to see what's available.
2.0.2 is available
Oh! Try this (as root):
yum upgrade
This returns:

rather than the normal "yum update". This will process "Obsoletes" tags,
which is how RPM knows that the old openoffice package is replaced. I'm not
sure without looking how the package split-up is handled, though -- that may
actually be magic in the Anaconda installer itself.
While upgrade installs generally work fine, I find it worthwhile to do a
fresh install every now and then. If you follow good adminstrative practices
and keep the machine relatively clean, reconfiguring things to be the way
you want shouldn't be too hard. (It can actually be faster than an upgrade.
Thanks again.
