I installed Oxygen-openoffice (not from the fedora repos) in F9.

Later on, "yum update" tried to update openoffice.org from the fedora repos!

I cancelled this, so that my oxygen software remained clean!

Question: Why did yum try to update the oxygen packages?

Installed rpms:
===============

  rpm -qa '*openoffice.org*'
openoffice.org-core08-2.4.1-9310.i586
openoffice.org-emailmerge-2.4.1-9310.i586
Can you do this query again but *including* the Epoch values?
$ rpm -qa --qf %{e}:%{n}-%{v}-%{r}\\n '*openoffice.org*'
Hi Michael, here they are:
==========================

  rpm -qa --qf %{e}:%{n}-%{v}-%{r}\\n '*openoffice.org*'
(none):openoffice.org-core08-2.4.1-9310
(none):openoffice.org-emailmerge-2.4.1-9310
  ^^^^^^
All have no Epoch, but the Fedora rpms of openoffice.org have Epoch 1 (you
can also see that in Yum's output -- it's the "1:" at the beginning).
Therefore they are considered as the "newer" packages. In RPM version
comparison, the hidden Epoch value is most-significant. Epoch comparison
overrides the result of ordinary version-release comparison. Highest
Epoch wins, and any non-zero Epoch wins over a missing Epoch.


Hi Michael,

thanks for the explanation. As workaround, I put a

	exclude=openoffice.org*

in /etc/yum.conf. That helped.

Regards
